HomeConservation and recovery of threatened birds in the European Union
Publication metadata
By implementing the Birds Directive, all 27 EU Member States can achieve far more together than they could if each operated on its own. In particular they can: protect all bird species from persecution and unsustainable exploitation, and establish a comprehensive system to manage hunting, which is a legitimate form of use of the bird species listed in annexes II/1 (applicable to all Member States) and 11/2 (restricted to certain Member States); take special conservation measures to maintain and restore the habitats of the 192 species listed as threatened in Annex I of the Directive; establish a coherent network of Special Protected Areas (SPAS), where sufficient habitat for threatened and migratory birds should be conserved. Since 1994, all SPAS have formed an integral part of the ~atura20 00, the largest and most comprehensive international ecological network in the world.
