Estimated High Nature (HNV) presence in Europe

Figure Created 29 Oct 2014 Published 17 Feb 2015 Last modified 17 Sep 2015

Topics: Biodiversity — Ecosystems ,

How to read the map: Green areas show likelihood to contain primarily HNV land, on the basis of a stratified selection of CORINE land cover clases per country and environmental zone, and national biodiversity data when available. The values in the map are a proxy for the proportion of HNV in each 1 km2 cell, 2012 update.
