Biological Appreciation Map and Natura 2000 Habitat Map - Status 2020

The Biological Valuation Map (BWK) is a uniform inventory and evaluation of the entire Flemish territory on the basis of a set of mapping units that represent vegetations, soil cover and small landscape elements (line and point-shaped elements). The presence of important fauna elements has also been taken into account. Compared to version 1, the renewed BWK, version 2, tries to meet more requirements and needs, both in terms of content and accuracy. This version of the BWK also includes the Natura 2000 habitat types. There are currently 47 Natura 2000 habitat types from Annex I of the Habitats Directive in Flanders. In addition, 15 regionally important biotopes have also been defined in Flanders. These are biotopes that are comparable to habitat types in terms of biological value and importance for biodiversity, but which are less threatened at European level. This map provides the best available information in 2020 about the distribution of the Natura 2000 habitat types, the regionally important biotopes and the mapping units of the Biological Valuation Map. This may be a simplification of the reality on the ground. The actual situation on the ground applies at all times for application for the policy and legal framework.
