Protected areas management and habitat restoratioN
ENCA activity under this Priority has focused on the protected area management approaches and activities by the ENCA Members.
ProtecTED AREA Management
Context

These sites are complemented by a suite of National designation types.
ENCA ACTIVITIES

- ENCA-18 Brussels 2016 looked at financing opportunities related to implementation of the Nature Directives, in particular, to support implementation of the Natura 2000 network.

The IUCN Green List Standard
Ana Nieto, IUCN
Ana Nieto, IUCN, presented the IUCN Green List standard. The standard was developed as a global benchmark for effective management and governance quality for protected and conserved areas. Green List status has been awarded to over 20 sites globally.
The LIFE Green list for N2K project launched in 2017 and will run to 2019. This project is looking to adapt the standard for N2K sites, this will include research on the EU legislation, a consultation process, pilot phase at 20 sites, and report the necessary steps for implementation of the Green List in Europe.
