These guidelines form part of Life+ Natura 2000 project: Connecting people with Biodiversity to instruct and train the stakeholders involved in the environmental assessment of projects likely to affect the Natura 2000 Network.

The ultimate aim is for this document to help improve assessment of projects impinging on Natura 2000 sites and to be taken up by the maximum number of government authorities. By incorporating real examples and good practices, the idea has been to build up a hands-on guide for application in future assessments, favouring the implementation of uniform and consistent criteria in all Natura 2000 sites.
