Map Layer FFH Areas NRW

Important note: The dataset is updated daily under OpenData NRW! The map layer FFH areas (according to the Flora-Fauna-Habitat-Guideline) of the Web Map Service Lanschaftsinformationssammlung (WMS LINFOS) shows the location and spatial expansion of the FFH areas in North Rhine-Westphalia. The Habitats Directive, or Habitats Directive for short, is a nature conservation directive of the European Union. The Habitats Directive aims to secure and protect wild species, their habitats and the Europe-wide networking of these habitats. The networking serves the preservation, (re-)establishment and development of ecological interactions as well as the promotion of natural dispersal and repopulation processes. It thus serves the commitments made by the EU Member States in 1992 to protect biodiversity (Biodiversity Convention, CBD, Rio 1992).
