Indicator 15.4.1. Coverage by protected areas of important sites for mountain biodiversity

Sub-indicator 15.4.1.5. Places important for mountain biodiversity that are covered by protected areas, in settlements

• Global
• National

This indicator shows the trend in the percentage of settlement areas included in protected mountain areas.

The mountain area is determined on the basis of the digital land model 1:25,000 IGN according to the UNEP-WCMC criteria described in Kapos et al. 2000. The land occupation is determined on the basis of the UNFCCC classification incorporated in the Forest Map of Spain, corresponding the settlements with the ¿artificial¿ class. All this information is combined with the digital mapping of the protected areas included in the Spanish Inventory of Natural Heritage and Biodiversity (Protected Natural Spaces, Natura Network 2000 or Areas protected by international instruments).
