“Nature 2000” is the name that the Council of Ministers of the European Union has assigned to the coordinated and coherent system (a “network”) of areas present in the EU and intended for the conservation of biodiversity and in particular for the protection of a range of habitats and animals and plant species of Community interest (identified by Directive 79/409 / EEC “Birds” and Directive 92/43 / EEC “Habitat”). The “network” is composed of two types of areas: the Special Protection Areas (SPAs) and the proposed Sites of Community Importance (SCI).
