Description of programme "Priority area Nature and Biodiversity" | LIFE Nature & Biodiversity aims specifically at contributing to the development
and implementation of EU policy and legislation in the area of nature and biodiversity. Projects financed must have a European
added value and be complementary to those actions that can be financed under other EU funds during the period 2014–2020. The priority area LIFE Nature & Biodiversity focuses on:
There
are two distinct sectors of projects which are intended to complement each other: LIFE Nature projects and LIFE Biodiversity
projects. A proposed project submitted under the priority area LIFE Nature & Biodiversity must either be a LIFE Nature
or a LIFE Biodiversity project. Thus, LIFE Nature relates specifically to the objectives of the Birds and Habitats Directives,
while LIFE Biodiversity is not restricted to the objectives of the Birds and Habitats Directives, but supports the broader
implementation of the Union Biodiversity Strategy to 2020. A nature conservation project that targets exclusively species/habitats
of the Birds / Habitats Directives should normally be submitted as a LIFE Nature project. Other projects are more likely to
fit better within the requirements of LIFE Biodiversity (N.B. Proposals submitted under NAT or BIO will be evaluated accordingly,
no reclassification will be possible). Thematic priorities for LIFE Nature projects: activities
for the implementation of the Birds and/or Habitats Directives in particular:
Thematic priorities for LIFE Biodiversity projects: activities for the implementation of the Union Biodiversity Strategy to 2020. |
