Undertakings are required to indicate whether their operational sites are located in or near protected areas or biodiversity-sensitive areas.
👉 “Near” means that the undertaking’s site is directly adjacent to, or partially overlaps with, a protected area.

Biodiversity-sensitive areas may include:
– Natura 2000 network sites: ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/natura2000
– UNESCO World Heritage Sites: whc.unesco.org
– Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA): keybiodiversityareas.org
– Other government-designated protected areas

Useful databases and tools for identifying such areas:
– World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA): protectedplanet.net
– World Database on Key Biodiversity Areas: keybiodiversityareas.org
– IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: iucnredlist.org
– Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT): ibat-alliance.org
