EU LIFE Platform meeting Date: March 22, 2022 to March 23, 2022
Place: Hybrid, La Rochelle, France & Online -
Description of the event:
The Commission produced in October 2020 a draft note on
criteria and guidance for protected areas designation, which includes a
definition of strict protection for the purpose of the implementation of the
targets set in the strategy. A draft definition of strictly protected
areas could read as follows: “Strictly protected areas are fully and legally
protected areas designated to conserve (and/or restore) the integrity of
biodiversity-rich natural areas with their underlying ecological structure and
supporting natural environmental processes. Natural processes are therefore
left essentially undisturbed from human activity”.
The LIFE meeting will facilitate a synthesis of national experiences on
the implementation of strong protection zones. This synthesis will be the
subject of a working seminar which aims to present study-cases of
implementation of strong protection zones, in order to understand the
mechanisms, to discuss the tools used, the methods followed, the scientific and
technical work carried out.
