Protected Natural Areas EUAP — Dataset

VI Official List of Protected Natural Areas (EUAP). Established under Law 394/91, Framework Law on Protected Areas, the Official List currently in force is the 6th Update approved by Ministerial Decree 27/04/2010 and published in Ordinary Supplement No 115 to the Official Gazette No 125 of 31 May 2010. In the Official List the protected areas are divided into National Parks (PNZ), Marine Protected Areas (AM), National Nature Reserves (RNS), Other National Protected Areas (AAPN). Regional and Interregional Natural Parks (PNR), Regional Natural Reserves (RNR), Other Regional Protected Natural Areas (AAPR).The list is drawn up, and periodically updated, by the Ministry of the Environment and the Protection of Land and Sea — Directorate for Protection of Nature and the Sea. For state protected areas, i.e. for the first four groups of protected areas (PNZ, AM, RNS and AAPN), you can keep the list updated constantly. On the other hand, for non-state protected areas, i.e. for the next three groups of protected areas (PNR, RNR and AAPR), the Regions communicate the updated list only when the Ministerial Decree is drawn up and that list is therefore updated periodically and only on that occasion. At the moment, therefore, for the latter three groups, the list is updated on 27/04/2010.
