The Focal Point on Natura 2000

Natura 2000 is a European wide network of natural sites, defined for preserving the most rare, typical and endangered species and natural habitats. Natura 2000 breaks with strict nature protection of areas or species. The idea is to search collectively a balanced and sustainable management, which takes into account the economic and social concerns. It recognizes that the state of nature is closely linked with evolution of the economic activities and more largely, with organization of the society.

The drafting of a management plan for each Natura 2000 site will be a huge opportunity for local people to think together, on new questions which seems, until now, to be very difficult to answer.

For preserving wild species, it is essential to protect and manage the habitats essential with their life and their reproduction. For maintaining the natural habitats, it is necessary to promote the human activities and the uses, compatible with them and to promote them by reconciling ecological with economic and social requirements. The

Natura 2000 network is composed of sites designated by each Member State following to the European “Birds” Directives of 1979 and the “Habitats” Directive of 1992. The constitution of the Natura 2000 network represents a true stake of durable development for remarkable rural territories. This network contributes to the preservation of the planet and to the sustainable development on the European level.

The objective of this chapter of the project is first of all to prepare the documentation (Standard Data Form of data - SDF) and maps of the sites which are proposed in the Region West. In this aim, 3 steps are planned:

  • The collection of inventories existing on the species and the natural habitats of the Region
  • Some propositions on the adaptations of the existing protected areas to the Natura 2000 network
  • The preparation of the FSD of the sites of the area

But the project aims also to develop a certain number of specific tools for the implementation of Natura 2000 in Romania:

  • The preparation of the management plans of 5 pilot sites in the Region West
  • The preparation of a methodological guide to help the managers of the sites to prepare their management plan
  • The proposal of an “habitats and species handbook” aiming at helping the managers of the sites to identify, protect and manage the various natural habitats and species which are on their site
  • The proposal for an organisation chart to manage the network of sites
  • The preparation of evaluation methods for monitoring the implementation of the management plan and its effects
  • The preparation of a group of Rumanian trainers on Natura 2000.
