On December 4, 2020, we registered in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine the draft law “On the Territories of the Emerald Network” (№ 4461). The draft law was signed by 59 deputies from all parliamentary factions. The main purpose of the law is to ensure the preservation of types of natural habitats and species of natural fauna and flora that are subject of special protection in order to fulfill international obligations, in particular the implementation of the provisions of the Habitats and Birds Directives.
What is the Emerald Network?
The Emerald Network is a pan-European network of particularly valuable natural areas for the conservation of rare species of flora and fauna and the types of natural habitats that are protected at European level.
