The Natura 2000 areas in Lower Austrian nature conservation law

Due to the two European nature conservation directives , Directive 92/43 / EEC (Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive) and the Directive on the conservation of wild birds (Birds Directive, 79/409 / EEC), Austria is obliged to use areas that are for Community environmental protection of the European Union are of interest. These are then considered to be "proposed" ( proposed Site of Community Importance ... pSCI) and are confirmed by the EU, entered in a joint list and integrated into the Natura 2000 network (as areas of community importance according to the Habitats Directive ... SCI, SAC and as special protection areas according to the Bird Protection Directive ... SPA - the latter do not need express confirmation). The report to the European Commission was initially made directly by the federal states, in 2003 Austria created a joint national list , and since then individual areas have been named by the state governments.

It is then up to the Member States to select suitable protective instruments. In Austria, where nature conservation is regulated at the state level , this is one of the state protection categories . According to § 9 of the Lower Austrian Nature Conservation Act 2000, they are declared European protected areas by ordinance .

The Natura 2000 areas are all assigned to one of the five main regions of the state development concept ( Weinviertel , Waldviertel , Mostviertel , Industrieviertel and Niederösterreich-Mitte ). This allows the Natura 2000 management plans to be dealt with at the state or regional level. Overlapping FFH and bird protection areas are also summarized in a management plan, so that a total of 21 management plans are available.
