A WFS service providing spatial data on the distribution of species and habitat types reported under Article 17 of the EU Habitats Directive, which requires Member States to report every six years on progress in implementing the Directive. The reporting focuses on maintaining or restoring favourable conservation status for habitat types and species of Community interest. This dataset covers Malta and is published by the Planning Authority, accessible via a standard OGC WFS endpoint for use in GIS applications and environmental assessment work related to biodiversity conservation and habitat monitoring.Article 17 of the Habitats Directive requires Member States to report every six years about the progress made with the implementation of the Habitats Directive.
