Natura 2000

Natura 2000 is like a special club for plants and animals that are really important and need to be protected.

It's like when you have a really special toy that you really love and want to keep it safe, so you put it in a special box and don't let anyone else touch it.

Natura 2000 is a special box for plants and animals that are really important and need to be kept safe.

The European Union made this club to protect nature and make sure that certain types of animals and plants don't disappear.

So, just like you don't let anyone else touch your special toy, the European Union doesn't let anyone hurt or destroy certain important plants and animals that belong to the Natura 2000 club.

This helps keep our environment healthy and balanced for all the creatures that live in it, including us!
