Emerald Network of Nature Protection Sites, Phase II
The Emerald Network under the Bern Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats is set-up to ensure that all high biodiversity areas of European importance are identified, their ecological inventories completed and their importance recognised legally.

This European Union/Council of Europe project contributes to the establishment of the Emerald Network in seven target countries (see map below).
