Managing Natura 2000 sites
Within all Natura 2000 sites:
Damaging activities must be avoided that could significantly disturb the species and/or habitats for which the site has been designated;
Positive measures are taken, where necessary to maintain and restore those habitats and species to a favourable conservation status in their natural range
The ultimate objective is to ensure that the species and habitats types reach «favourable conservation status »
