Natura 2000 Contracts

Natura 2000 is a European network that aims to preserve biodiversity while reconciling human, economic, and cultural activities in the territories. It allows for the maintenance and restoration of natural environments (forests, agricultural areas, watercourses, etc.) and encourages environmentally friendly practices. Natura 2000 contracts finance concrete management and restoration actions for these environments, in order to sustainably protect habitats and species.

Objectives:

• Preserve and restore natural habitats and species of community interest.
• Maintain or improve their conservation status, in line with the objectives defined in the Objective Document (DOCOB).
• Support adapted management practices (non-productive or extensive) through financial compensation for additional costs or loss of income.
