species directive

The Species Directive is a European law aimed at protecting wild plants and animals, especially those that are threatened or endangered. It sets rules for conserving habitats and ensuring the survival of various species across EU member countries. The directive encourages biodiversity by promoting sustainable management of natural populations and their environments. It also establishes protected areas and requires member states to develop measures to prevent extinction and support population recovery, balancing conservation needs with human activities. Overall, it helps preserve Europe's natural heritage for future generations.
