What this layer shows
Liechtenstein's Emerald sites, the Bern Convention's network outside the European Union: the Ruggeller Riet and Schwabbrünnen-Äscher. Liechtenstein is not in the EU and has no Natura 2000 sites; both Emerald sites are protected in full as nature reserves.

Merestone asks this service live for the area on screen. Nothing is copied or stored beyond a short cache.
This layer is drawn from the European Environment Agency's annual return of what Liechtenstein reports, not from a live service of the national body itself. A boundary changed this year appears here when the next return is published.
