10 messages for 2010 — protected areas

This report explores the historical trends, most recent progress and projected future progress on climate change mitigation through reduced GHG emissions, renewable energy gains and improved energy efficiency. It builds upon data reported by the EU-27 Member States, five EEA member countries and nine Contracting Parties of the Energy Community. This message is the 2nd in a series of '10 messages for 2010'. Each message provides a short assessment focusing on a specific ecosystem or issue related to biodiversity in Europe. The remaining messages will be published at various intervals throughout 2010. More detailed information on the published and upcoming messages.

10 messages for 2010 - Agricultural ecosystems

Within the framework of the CAP, the last 50 years have seen increasing attention to biodiversity, but without clear benefits so far. With agriculture covering about half of EU land area, Europe's biodiversity is linked inextricably to agricultural practices, creating valuable agro-ecosystems across the whole of Europe.

Species of European interest — conservation status by biogeographical region

In the Alpine region, more than 25 % of species have a 'favourable' status and more than 20 % have an 'unfavourable' or 'bad' status.

Transboundary initiatives on protected areas in Central Asia

Percentage of assessed freshwater animal species in each conservation class in the EU-25 per biogeographic region

The number of assessed species present in each region is given in brackets.

Proposed ASCIs under the Emerald process, in the western Balkans area (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, FYR of Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro)

As part of Emerald network process under the Bern Convention, Contracting parties to this Convention identify and propose Areas of Special Conservation Interest

Common bird index in Europe

Birds play an essential role in ecosystems and provide a variety of ecosystem services. They are sensitive to environmental change and good indicators of environmental health. Between 1990 and 2023, the index of 168 common birds decreased by 15% in the EU. The decline was much stronger in common farmland birds, at 42%, while the common forest bird index decreased by 4.5%. Currently, it seems unlikely that the decline in populations of common birds will be reversed by 2030. Member States need to strengthen the implementation of existing policies and put new conservation and restoration measures in place to ensure their recovery.

Forest bird species with 'unfavorable conservation status'

Conservation status of all birds in EU-25

Conservation status of assessed species in EU-25, by taxonomic group

Conservation status of assessed habitats in EU‑25

- Annex I to the Habitats Directive includes a wide variety of habitats which are divided into nine groups of related habitat types such as forests and grassland. - Between these groups, dune habitats, grasslands and bogs, mires and fens have the worst conservation status.
