1 Natura 2000 Biogeographical Process
Continental, Pannonian, Black Sea and Steppic Biogeographical Regions Selection of habitats, species and issues for priority consideration

2

3 Selection process: preparation
ETC BD: Analysis of Art 17 reporting Three criteria: Criterion A. Number of MS where species/habitat types are present Criterion B. Species and habitat types at unfavourable conservation status (U2 & U1 & XX) Criterion C. Trend information results in score for habitats and species Reported in “Draft pre-scoping document” Natura 2000 Seminars Atlantic Biogeographic Region

4 Selection process: consultation
Draft pre-scoping document circulated to SC Online form to select top 20 habitats and 3 species and 5 management issues Result: All MS have provided feedback Natura 2000 Users and European Habitats Forum Members also contributed

5 Selection process: result
