Share of country designated as terrestrial protected area and the overlap between Natura 2000 or Emerald sites and national designations
The overlap for Norway and Switzerland relates to Emerald Network sites. For all other countries the overlap relates to Natura 2000 sites. Statistics on national designations are based on data reported by EEA countries to the Nationally designated areas (CDDA) database.
Sites of Community Importance (SCI) designated for the Eurasian Otter (Lutra lutra) in the EU-27 and its current distribution in EU-25 Member States according to the Article 17 EU Habitats Directive Reporting in 2008

Ten most frequently reported pressures by Member States for marine species according to 2001–2006 Article 17 reports under the Habitats Directive
This diagram shows the number of marine species affected by pressures reported by 40% of EU countries where these species occur.

Number of mountain habitat types in individual groups of Annex I. habitats
The graph summarizes links between 9 main habitat groups distinguished by the Annex I of the Habitat Directive and mountain regions. Three types of relations are distinguished: mountain habitat; both mountain and non-mountain habitat; non-mountain habitat.
Progress in meeting the 2020 Biodiversity Strategy Target 1 for species (Habitats Directive) and birds (Birds Directive): proportion of EU regional assessments that are favourable/secure or improving
These are species from the Habitats and Birds Directive.
Progress in meeting the 2020 Biodiversity Strategy Target 1 for habitats (Habitats Directive): proportion of EU regional assessments that are favourable or improving
These are habitats from the Habitats Directive.
Proportion of each terrestrial biogeographical region covered by SCIs/SACs *
* SCIs — Sites of Community Importance; SACs — Special Areas of Conservation
Proportion of species of Community interest (Annex II and IV of the EU Habitats Directive) endemic to Europe

Proportions of habitat types in each massif classified by conservation status
The graph shows the proportions of habitat types in each massif classified by conservation status.
Natura 2000: Birds and Habitats Directives
Data: 2020
Complementarity between European designations (Natura 2000 and Emerald networks) and national designations by share of terrestrial area
The overlap for Switzerland relates to Emerald Network sites rather than Natura 2000 sites. CDDA = Common Database of Designated Areas; N2000 = Natura 2000.

European protected sites
The map shows an overview of protected sites in Europe. The EU’s Natura 2000 network and the Bern Convention’s Emerald Network are ecological networks of protected areas, set up to ensure the survival of Europe's most valuable species and habitats. Information about protected areas designated at national levels is reported by the 38 countries of Eionet.
Data completeness of national reports on derogations and exceptions
This dashboard presents statistics about the completeness of the information in the national reports on derogations. It shows the percentage of derogations for which mandatory fields of the reporting form have been filled in. This dashboard does not provide any assessment of the reported derogations
Derogations and exceptions table
This dashboard presents detailed information on individual derogations/exceptions, as extracted from the national reports that have been submitted to the European Commission. Click on a derogation to see more information below the table
Natura 2000 Barometer
The Natura 2000 Barometer provides an overview of the Natura 2000 network of sites covered by the EU’s Birds and the Habitats Directives, giving information on area and site numbers. The Natura 2000 network coverage in EU's seas is 10.5% (by the end of 2023).
Overview of derogations and exceptions to species protection across the EU
Timeliness of submission - Habitats directive article 17 - reporting from Member States
Article 11 of the Habitats Directive requires Member States to monitor the conservation status of the habitats and species listed in its annexes. Article 17 requires a report to be sent to the European Commission every 6 years following an agreed format. These scoreboards provide information on timeliness of data delivery by Member States for the reporting 2013-2018.
