We use our knowledge to advise governments on the designation of Natura 2000 areas and to develop Natura 2000 management plans. We also evaluate the implemented measures for their effectiveness and advise on any additional measures or adjustments needed.

Waardenburg Ecology has specialist ecological knowledge for developing management plans for Natura 2000 areas. For example, we provide important background documents for our clients and we provide appropriate assessments that form the input for management plans. We also regularly collaborate with other organisations and experts.

Following the implementation of a management plan, the conservation objectives and actions are evaluated. Conservation goals are assessed in relation to the actioned measures, and regional, national and international trends as well as other factors affecting success.
