This dataset relates to Article 12 of the EU Birds Directive, which requires Member States to report on progress in implementing the Directive. The European Commission, in agreement with Member States, revised the reporting procedure to focus on data describing the status and distribution of wild bird populations. Published by the Planning Authority of Malta, it provides spatial distribution information for bird species covered under the Directive at national level. The data supports periodic reporting obligations and monitoring of bird population status, and is made available as a web feature service for use in geographic information systems and environmental assessments.Article 12 requires Member States to report about the progress made with the implementation of the Birds Directive.
