Today we have collected our “Best LIFE projects” award granted by the European Commission in the field of Nature and Biodiversity and which recognizes the work carried out within the framework of the LIFE+ project Preparation of the Priority Action Framework, which has been coordinated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Food and Environment. The award was presented in Brussels, in a ceremony within the framework of Green Week, an event organized by the European Commission.

This project, which had a budget of close to 600,000 euros and lasted more than two years, was born with the aim of improving the management and financing capacity of the Natura 2000 Network (the largest network of protected natural areas in the world) in Spain, the country that contributes the most territory to this Network in the European Union with more than 27% of the land area and 8% of the world’s the marina, which will increase to 10% thanks to the LIFE IP Intemares project, coordinated by the Ministry through the Biodiversity Foundation.

To achieve these objectives, the Priority Action Framework (MAP) for the Natura 2000 Network was drawn up, in accordance with the requirements of the Habitats Directive. The MAP includes the strategic priorities and the necessary conservation measures to be carried out in the sites that make up the Natura 2000 Network and the mechanisms for their financing.
