The call for applications for the Natura 2000 award for the 2024 edition is open.

The European Natura 2000 Award rewards excellence in the management of Natura 2000 sites, and showcases the network’s added value of conserving nature for local communities and economies across the European Union.  

The Natura 2000 network protects a wide array of threatened habitats and species across the European Union. The people and organisations protecting and managing the network deserve to be recognised for their efforts. The Natura 2000 Award was launched with this aim: to celebrate these Natura 2000 heroes and bring them into the spotlight. 

Applying for the Natura 2000 Award has multiple benefits.  

All applicants, regardless of whether they win an award or not, benefit from having their work promoted on the Award website and to a wide audience across Europe.  

Apply now to get the recognition you deserve for your achievements, and help others discover Natura 2000 and all its benefits. 

Applications will be accepted via the online application until 29 September 2023.
