Natura 2000 is a European network of nature protection areas. In Flanders, 62 areas – a total of 166 000 hectares – enjoy legal protection. The EU also provides support through the LIFE programme. In 30 years, some 40 LIFE projects (representing more than EUR 70 million in EU support) have been implemented in Flanders and have restored vulnerable nature, brought back lost species and made areas accessible to visitors.
