SGAV’s current Natura 2000 boundaries from MiljøGIS, catalogued in Arealdata as Natura 2000 områder. WFS snapshots are checked with two matching captures and pinned by checksum. The 11 September 2026 snapshot contains 250 areas. Refreshes are captured, validated, packaged as PMTiles and published as new dated editions; the map is not a live view of the authority’s service.

Limitations and responsibility

The official combined boundary is retained, including marine areas, with a light fill. These are not historical baseline or planning maps. Area is the source’s whole-area value in m², displayed in hectares; overlapping areas are not summed. Underlying designation codes, Ramsar status and individual plan links are absent from this source. Record dates can predate retrieval, and the service does not report an overall update date.
