Not the Right Time to Amend the Annexes of the European Habitats Directive [PDF]
Conservation Letters, 2013 The present Natura 2000 network has the Habitats Directive (EU 1992) and the Birds Directive (EU 1979) as the legal basis in the European Union (EU) and is recognized as one of the most powerful conservation policy tools in the world. The authors largely agree that now is not the time for amendments.
