Europe’s biodiversity – biogeographical regions and seas : Biogeographical regions in Europe : Introduction
This report ‘Europe´s biodiversity’ from the European Environment Agency (EEA) for the first time describes both the eleven biogeographical regions and the seven regional seas around Europe in comparable chapters (Box 1). The main focus of the chapters is on wild-living species, on the major ecosystems and some selected natural or semi-natural habitat types. The geographical coverage of the report is Europe to the Urals with surrounding regional seas. Because information is not evenly available, not all regions and seas are treated at the same level of detail. The collection of information, writing storylines and editing of this report has been carried during several years. The chapters on the regional seas were published already by 2002 while the biogeographical region chapters have been successively published 2002-20081. Thus the information presented in the different chapters is not equally up to date. In particular the strategies and policies to protect biodiversity is continuously developing as well as the implementation in e.g. the the European Union (which expanded from 15 to 27 member states during recent years). For example the data collection e.g. on areas and species protected according to the EU Habitats and Bird Directives largely refer to the EU-15 states, i.e. relate to the state of 2002 or before.
