Protecting biodiversity at global, EU and national level - a complex but comprehensive policy framework. European countries started working together more than 40 years ago to protect nature and preserve national heritage. The European Union has recognized this cooperation by adopting specific legislation to ensure the protection of all bird species and the most endangered or particularly characteristic European animals, plants and habitats through the Directives on birds and biotopes.

Since the adoption of these important pieces of legislation, other agreements on biodiversity management beyond conservation have been adopted, not least within the framework of the European Green Deal. The Green Deal approved in 2020 is a set of political initiatives aimed at achieving climate neutrality in the EU by 2050. It is mainly supported by the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2030, the Birds Directive and the biotopes, in preparation the Nature Restoration Act, the EU Forestry Strategy, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, the Water Framework Directive and the Soil Strategy.
