Overview
To put biodiversity on the path to recovery by 2030, the EU is committed to widen its network of protected areas and build a truly coherent Trans-European Nature Network.
The key commitments by 2030 regarding Nature protection are the following :
- Legally protect a minimum of 30% of the EU’s land area and 30% of the EU’s sea area and integrate ecological corridors, as part of a true Trans-European Nature Network.
- Strictly protect at least a third of the EU’s protected areas, including all remaining EU primary and old-growth forests.
- Effectively manage all protected areas, defining clear conservation objectives and measures, and monitoring them appropriately.
Actions
To reach these commitments, the European Commission has planned the key following actions :
