The European Commission is taking the United Kingdom to the Court of Justice of the EU for its failure to propose sites for the protection of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), a marine mammal regularly found in UK waters. EU legislation on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (the Habitats Directive, Council Directive 92/43/EEC) requires Member States to propose a list of sites for a number of species and habitat types, ensuring their protection from threats which could seriously harm them and to ma ...[+++]intain and restore them in a favourable status in the whole of the EU by taking the conservation measures needed.

Most projects aim at conserving or restoring Natura 2000 sites or networks of sites, designing and implementing management or action plans, improving watercourses, restoring sites, laying the foundations for long-term site management and eliminating invasive species.

Consequently, in the case of sites eligible for identification as sites of Community importance which are included in the national lists transmitted to the Commission and, in particular, sites hosting priority natural habitat types or priority species, the Member States are, by virtue of the Habitats Directive, required to take protective measures that are appropriate, from the point of view of that directive’s conservation objective, for the purpose of safeguarding the relevant ecological interest covered by the directive which those ...[+++] sites have at national level.

It provides for the setting up of a European ecological network (‘Natura 2000’) in several stages: Each Member State proposes to the Commission a list of sites hosting natural habitats and species indigenous to its territory; the Commission establishes on that basis a list of sites of Community importance; finally, the Member State is required to designate the site of Community importance as a special area of conservation.

The project aims at the conservation of bio-diversity in Cyprus in accordance with Directive 92/43/EEC (Habitats Directive). The principle objective of the project is the provision of information on habitats and species of flora and fauna needed for the implementation of this Directive. A network of conservation zones will be created to be included in the EU-wide Natura 2000 network of Special Areas of Conservation. The objectives of the project are to: (1) collect, evaluate and process all existing data on the habitats and wild flora and fauna of Cyprus; (2) survey the habitats and species of Cyprus that are included or will be propose ...[+++]d for inclusion in Annexes I and II of protected habitats and species, respectively of Directive 92/43/EEC and the protected species included in Annexes, I, II and III of Directive 79/409/EEC (Birds Directive); (3) draw up a national list of sites proposed to be designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) to be included in the Natura 2000 network; (4) complete the Standard Data Forms (SDFs) and map the habitats and important species of the above sites; (5) establish a national archive of ecological data.
