Explore nature reporting data
The EEA, together with its European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity and consultants from the European Commission, compile and process the reports from the Member States. In addition, they assess the conservation status of species and habitats at the EU level.
These data are from the reporting period 2013-2018.

Datasets
Tabular and spatial information from the Member States' reports. EU level data and assessments are also included.
- Birds dataset (Article 12)
- Habitats and species dataset (Article 17)
Web Viewers
Information reported by Member States and the assessments made at EU level. These data can be searched for different reporting periods (2013-2018, 2007-2012 and 2001-2006).
Results at EU level - dashboards
Based on data from Member States, several analysis and statistics were made at the EU or EU biogeographical level. These can be downloaded and consulted in an interactive way (dashboards). These interactive tools cover the main themes of the nature reporting for which an EU analysis is done.
- Habitats and species covered by the Habitats and Birds directives
- Population status and trends of birds
- Conservation status and trends of habitats and non-bird species
- Pressures and threats
- Application of conservation measures and their effectiveness
- Areas to be restored
- Natura 2000 network and its coverage of species and habitats
- Natura 2000 network and its effectiveness
- Progress towards Target 1 and Target 3
- Pollinators
- Habitat types distribution (EU 27)
Reporting from the Member States
Birds Directive Article 12 reporting
Member States report on the progress of implementation of the Directive. The report focuses on the trends of bird populations and contains information on main pressures and threats, on conservation measures and on impact of the Natura 2000 network. The reports from Member States follow the agreed formats and methodologies allowing for assessments across EU. As part of their reports, Member States deliver maps with the distribution of the breeding bird species.

- Timeliness of submissions
- Quality of submissions
Habitats Directive Article 17 reporting
Member States monitor the conservation status of the habitats and species listed in the Annexes of Habitats Directive and report on the progress of implementation of the Directive. This report focuses on the assessment of conservation status and trends of species and habitats. In addition, the report contains information on main pressures and threats, on conservation measures and on impact of Natura 2000 network. The reports from Member States follow the agreed formats and methodologies allowing for assessments across EU. As part of their reports, Member States deliver maps with the distribution of the habitats and species.

Data quality and coherence
These dashboards highlight some critical gaps or inconsistencies in Article 12 and 17 reporting for the period 2013-2018. Inconsistencies of the data collected from the latter reporting with the data from the Natura 2000 dataset are also highlighted.
- Coherence between Natura 2000 and Article 17 habitat areas
Information per Member State on the similarities and differences of habitat type areas reported in the two datasets.
- Coherence between Natura 2000 and Article 17 species population
Information per Member State on the similarities and differences of species population reported in the two datasets.
- Coherence between Natura 2000 and Article 12 bird populations
Information per Member State on the similarities and differences of bird populations reported in the two datasets.
- Data quality and completeness of habitats and species group
Information per Member State per group of habitats, non-bird species and bird species under Article 17 and Article 12 that is missing or unknown. Information on the methods used for surveillance are also provided.
- Quality of the parameters assessing conservation status
Information per Member State and per group of the Article 17 habitats and species on the methods that were used for assessing the parameters ‘habitat area’ and ‘structure and functions’ for habitat types, and ‘population’ and ‘habitat of the species’ for non-bird species.
- Coherence of information on change and reason for change.
Information per Member State on the incoherencies in reporting change and reason for change from the previous reporting round.
- Information on conservation measures
Information per Member State per group of habitats, species and birds on the status, main purpose and location of measures taken for Article 17 and Article 12.
- Quality of Favourable Reference Values
Information per Member State and per habitat and species group, specifically on the quality of Favourable Reference Range and Area values for habitats, as well as the quality of Favourable Reference Range and Population values for species.
- Coherence between habitat condition and total habitat area
Compares the total area covered by habitat with the total habitat area reported under ‘structure and functions’ that indicates the condition of the habitat, per Member State per habitat group (and per each habitat type separately).
- Evaluation of reported habitat areas
Information per Member State, on the total reported Annex I habitat area under Article 17, the total reported Annex I habitat area within Natura 2000, the total country area and the total sealed area of the country.
