Abstract:
Territorial protection of nature in any country is limited by various factors and therefore it is necessary to carefully select protected areas. Currently, they are often selected according to particular indicator taxa because of the simplicity and applicability of this approach. For example, Natura 20XX Special Protection Areas (SPAs) in EU are established to protect selected species of birds. We asked how well do SPAs cover valuable natural habitats, i.e., whether the areas selected for the protection of birds are also important for the conservation of natural habitats.
