What this layer shows

Special Protection Areas classified under Article 4 of the Birds Directive 2009/147/EC. They form part of the Natura 2000 network and are subject to the same § 34 BNatSchG appropriate assessment as the Habitats Directive sites. SPAs and SACs overlap widely but are not coextensive: both layers have to be checked separately.

Natura 2000

The Natura 2000 network in Germany: Habitats Directive sites and Special Protection Areas, nationwide, from the harmonised European return. This is the free set the map opens with anywhere in Germany: and the point at which every appropriate assessment under § 34 BNatSchG begins.

Schutzgebiete

Every area-based protection at once: Natura 2000, nature and landscape protection areas, national parks, national natural monuments and biosphere reserves with their three zones, plus the nature parks and Ramsar sites the states publish and the European return leaves out. Nationwide, the nature parks excepted.

Bestandsaufnahme

Where an ecological consultant or a planning office starts: the protected-site network, the small designations, natural monuments and protected landscape components, the biotopes protected by law, the Annex I habitat types with their critical loads, and the species records. The small designations and biotopes are available where that state publishes them openly.
