EUNIS - The European Nature Information System has gone public on the web
EUNIS is the European Nature Information System. It contains information on
selected species, habitats and sites of importance for protecting Europe's
biodiversity. The main content concerns the European Community Birds and
Habitats directives as well as the Bern Convention. EUNIS has been developed
for the European Environment Agency (EEA) by the European Topic Center for
Nature Protection and Biodiversity. The web application has been developed
with European Commission funds (IDA-II programme). EUNIS is a live system,
which will change over time with new data. The latest data set covers all
the nationally designated areas data delivered by countries as one of the
EEA priority data sets. EUNIS was demonstrated at the Joint CHM meeting
between the CBD Secretariat and EEA in Prague in September and at the EEA
National Focal Point meeting of EEA in October 2003. The EUNIS web
application can be found directly at http://eunis.eea.eu.int or via EC CHM
(the European Community Clearing House Mechanism) at
http://biodiversity-chm.eea.eu.int. You can register comments on EUNIS in
the feedback section.
