Provisional search areas Natura 2000 conservation targets version 2

Description

The provisional search zones consist, on the one hand, of the search zones sensu stricto and, on the other hand, of the parcels under appropriate management. The search areas sensu stricto indicate for each European protected habitat the perimeter that is safeguarded with a view to optimally setting the conservation objectives for the special area of conservation concerned. According to the legal framework, the search areas will be part of the guidance maps that are part of the Natura 2000 management plans. The search zones evolve with each new version of the Natura 2000 management plan. These search zones must be regarded as established achievements and are non-negotiable in terms of application in the appropriate assessment. Currently, no Natura 2000 management plans have been adopted by the Flemish Government. As the search areas are an important tool and tool for achieving the conservation objectives, provisional search areas are being used pending the Natura2000 management plans. These were drawn up per habitat type or cluster of habitat types. The current version replaces the first map with preliminary search zones as distributed in early 2015. This was largely generated using the so-called search zone model. This model was commissioned by the ANB by VITO and INBO and is based on the Space Model Flanders (VITO) (L. Poelmans et al., 2015, Search Zone Model: Technical description, VITO, Note for ANB Policy; https://www.spacemodel.vlaanderen/references/). As a result, the map for these habitat types is built on the basis of a grid map with cells of 100x100m (1 ha), which are cut off at the boundaries of the SPA-H (version 2013). For another set of habitats (habitats not controlled by the model), the search zones were determined using the method of the first preliminary search zones. The largest areas of this concern habitats in the Coastal Region and in the Polders. These search zones were drawn up on the basis of the habitat map (version 2013) and on the basis of geographical, biotic and abiotic factors. The parcels under appropriate management include the parcels with an approved nature management plan (or similar plans or similar agreements or actual management) of the Agency for Nature and Forests, other authorities and the recognised land management associations (Natuurpunt, vzw Durme, Limburgs Landschap), where a habitat type has been set as the objective. They are the sites where conservation objectives for European habitats to be protected have already been spatially placed. This was done by translating the targets from the nature management plans into European protection based on the data from the management plan and geographical, biotic and abiotic factors. The parcels under appropriate management are, like the search zones, sensu stricto cut off at the boundaries of the SPA-H.
