The ‘preliminary draft decision of the Flemish Government establishing the criteria for nature management’ sets out provisions for integrated nature management in the future. Nature target scenarios are an essential element in its application. To this end, and depending on the implementation of the future grant decision, there is a need for an assessment framework for nature target scenarios. For regionally important biotopes, tables with the local conservation status of the Natura 2000 habitat types can be used as a guideline.
