Nature Management
Ireland has adopted its National Biodiversity Plan and made good progress with many of the 91 actions the plan identifies. Ireland completed the designation process for terrestrial Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) under the Habitats Directive, and is expected to do the same for Special Protection Areas under the Birds Directive by the end of 2009. The Natura 2000 network would then cover 14% of the national territory.
