This book analyses the Habitats Directive; one of the most
prominent piece of EU environmental legislation of the past
decades. Seen by some as the cornerstone of Europe's nature
conservation policy, among other measures the Directive established
the so-called "Natura 2000" ecological network, which covers more
than 18% of the surface of the EU. However, despite the fact the
Directive was adopted over twenty years ago only 17% of the
protected habitats and species in Europe are being adequately
protected while 10-60 % of animal species remain under threat. In
light of the limited success and the contested nature of the
Habitats Directive so far this book examines the successes and
failures of the Habitats Directive from a legal and political
angle. The book brings together international experts to consider
the application, implementation and future of the Habitats
Directive in order to assess whether the Habitats Directive is
resilient enough to tackle biodiversity loss in the twenty- first
century. Particular emphasis is put on the legal regime attached to
the Natura 2000 network and its possible impact on land development
and the relationship between the Habitats Directive and other
topics including liability for ecological damage and transboundary
nature conservation.
