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 Habitats Directive) of the Web Map Service Lanschaftsinformation Collection (WMS LINFOS) shows the location and spatial expansion of the FFH areas in North Rhine-Westphalia. The Habitats Habitats Directive, or Habitats Directive, is a nature conservation directive of the European Union. The Fauna Flora Habitats Directive aims to safeguard and protect wild species, their habitats and the Europe-wide networking of these habitats. The networking serves to preserve, (re)produce and develop ecological interrelationships as well as the promotion of natural propagation and resettlement processes. It thus serves the commitments made by EU Member States in 1992 to protect biodiversity (Biodiversity Convention, CBD, Rio 1992).
