Special Protection Areas

Special Protection Areas (SPAs) are designated regions primarily protected for the conservation of bird populations, especially rare and threatened species. They are part of a broader network of protected sites aimed at preserving important habitats and maintaining biodiversity. Managed by national or international authorities, SPAs restrict activities that could harm wildlife or disrupt ecosystems. These areas help ensure that vital bird species have safe places to breed, feed, and migrate, contributing to overall environmental health and supporting biological diversity in the region.
