This brief assessment covers the progress made to date on the designation of Natura 2000 sites, their management and financing.
Key topics for reaching the EU 2020 Biodiversity Target in Poland
BirdLife partners have selected additional key topics that should be prioritised in their country. This can include main threats and challenges to be tackled in order to achieve sufficient progress on the EU Biodiversity Strategy, but also main achievements and successes.
On each of the topics raised in the progress assessment of their country (i.e. implementation of Natura 2000 and other key topics), BirdLife partners have formulated recommendations and priority tasks or milestones for 2014.
