Protected Sites (ZEPA/SPAs) indicator of Spain (2021)

SPAs are Natura 2000 sites that have been designated under the Birds Directive 79/409/CEE and they are strategic suitable areas for the protection of the most threatened birds species. The BirdLife International project, called Important Bird Areas (IBA), was the scientific reference point to institute the SPAs. The selected strategic areas are extremely important for the protection of birds, as they are specific areas connected to their reproduction, nutrition or migration.特殊保护区（SPAs）是依据《鸟类指令79/409/CEE》划定的自然2000（Natura 2000）保护地，同时亦是保护极度濒危鸟类物种的战略适宜区域。国际鸟盟（BirdLife International）发起的重要鸟类区域（Important Bird Areas, IBA）项目，是特殊保护区设立的科学参考基准。这些经遴选的战略区域与鸟类的繁殖、觅食或迁徙活动直接相关，因此对于鸟类保护而言具有至关重要的意义。
