Steps after designation of Natura 2000 sites

• Assessment of conservation status
• Assess current conservation status on
  national-/site-level
• Define Favourable Conservation Status of each
  species habitat type on site-/national level
• Management of Natura 2000 sites
• Develop and implement conservation measures for
  each site
• If necessary, develop and implement site
  management plan
• Monitoring of Natura 2000 habitats and species
• Develop monitoring system
• Establish monitoring program
• 6th year report to EU (conservation status of
  habitats species)

Assessment of each Natura 2000 site

• Goal Map each site with delineation of habitats
• Assess conservation status of each habitat
  species to EU
• Set conservation measures for each site
• Actors 1. Regional authorities and experts
• 2. Forest Districts and experts
• Each site was mapped status of habitat types
  species assessed, which the site has been
  designated for
• Technical instructions of field mapping
• Map and standard data sheet for each site
• Assess area covered within natural range for each
  species and each habitat
• Assess structures and functions for each ..
• Assess threaths (future prospects) for each ..

Assessment of Annex I habitats Annex II, IV V
species

• FAVOURABLE 14 species 2 habitats
• UNFAVOURABLE - bad 22 species 3 habitats
• UNFAVOURABLE - inadequate 13 species 6
  habitats
• UNKNOWN 17 species 2 habitats

Assessment of breeding and migrating birds

• Breeding birds Migrating birds
• FAVOURABLE 17 sp. 33 sp.
• UNFAVOURABLE - bad 14 sp. 2 sp.
• UNFAVOURABLE inadequate 9 sp. 1 sp.

Criteria for defining FCS for Annex I habitat
types

• National level
• a) area distribution (size/no - stabil or
  increasing)
• b) structure function (FCS on 70-75 of
  sites)
• c) typical species (stabil or increasing
  occurance)
• Categories of conservation status
• 1) favourable
• 2) unfavourable - inadequate
• 3) unfavourable - bad
• 4) unknown / disappeared

15
Criteria for defining Favourable conservation
statusfor Annex II IV species

• LOCAL/regional level
• Size of species habitat
• Populations
• Quality of species habitat

• NATIONAL level
• Natural Range
• Populations
• Structures and functions in total area of
  species habitats

The Danish Monitoring Programme - NOVANA

• Until 2004
• No national monitoring of terrestrial habitats
  and species
• Long-term monitoring of fresh and marine waters
• From 2004
• New national monitoring programme to meet
  requirements of N2K
• System of intensive and external fixed
  monitoring stations
• Monitoring build up of Sub-programmes

18
NOVANA 2004-2009

• Objectives monitor status, impacts and
  development
• Describe pollution sources and other impacting
  agents their effects on status development in
  water environment and terrestrial nature
• Document effect of national action plans
  contributions
• Meet Denmarks international obligations
  reporting to EU
• Contribute to strenghten technical knowledge base
  for future international national action plans
  etc.
• Method for systematic monitoring of species and
  habitats in Denmark according to technical
  instructions and fixed stations)
• Monitoring carried out in six-year cycles

19
NOVANA - dataflow
20

• Monitoring build up of Sub-programmes the
  relevant for N2K
• Monitoring of 18 (14) terrestrial habitat types
  165 species
• Monitoring of freshwater water courses
• Monitoring of lakes
• Monitoring of marine and coastal water

Monitoring programme for species in Denmark

• Mammals 16 species
• Amphibians and reptiles 10 species
• Fish 9 species
• Insects 18 species
• Snails 3 species
• Vascular plant and mosses 36 species
• Birds 75 species
• Total 165 species

21
Intensive and extensive monitoring in fixed
stations

• Intensive Stations
• Population size
• Change in population size Stable/increasing/decre
  asing
• Counting individuals
• Examples Harbour Seal and Grey Seal
• High frequency

• Extensive Stations
• Range
• Change of range stable, increasing or decreasing
• Based on 10 x 10 km grid (650 in DK)
• Examples European Otter
• Low frequency

22
The monitoring and assessment shall describe

• Conservation status shall be reported using 3
  classes
• Favourable
• Unfavourable Inadequate
• Unfavourable Bad
• Unknown category, where insufficient data
  exist to allow assessment
• Favourable Conservation Status shall be reached
  for each habitat type and species

23
Which criteria
EU Technical Guidelines

• National assessment for each habitat types and
  each species
• (per bio-geo region)
• Species
• Natural range
• Population
• Habitat of the species
• Future prospects
• Overall assessment of CS
• Habitat types
• Natural range
• Area covered by habitat type within range
• Specific structures and functions incl. typical
  species
• Future prospects
• Overall assessment of CS

24
Assessing Conservation Status of N2K habitat type

1 E.g. by discontinuation of former management,
or is under pressure from significant adverse
influences, e.g. critical loads of pollution
exceeded.
