Spatial coverage: EU (current composition, only continental areas and Macaronesia)
Time coverage: 2016-2021
Update frequency: Every year
DPSIR: Response
Other policies:
Method: 1) Calculation of surface from the Nationally designated protected areas and Natura 2000 data eliminating double counting of areas where sites are overlapping; 2) topological controls and adjustments, other data quality controls; 3) Member States territories are taken from "EuroBoundaryMap 2020" dataset. References about these sources are available in the specific dataset's section of this catalogue.
