Abstract

Italian IBAs provided by the Italian National Geoportal (GN).  

The Important Bird Areas or IBAs are areas that play a key role in the protection of birds and biodiversity, the identification of which is part of a global project, managed by BirdLife International. The IBA project was born from the need to identify homogeneous and standardized criteria for the designation of SPAs. IBAs have been used to assess the adequacy of national networks of SPAs designated in Member States. To be recognized as an IBA, a site must possess at least one of the following characteristics: host a significant number of individuals of one or more globally threatened species; be part of a typology of areas important for the conservation of particular species (e.g. wetlands); be an area where a particularly high number of migrating birds is concentrated. The resource includes the 2002 inventory of land IBAs, updated in 2016 based on the studies on the Great Shearwater carried out between 2008 and 2014 which led to the identification of 4 new marine IBAs and subsequently in 2019, in order to resolve some discrepancies with the boundaries of the SPAs and with the natural and anthropic elements of the landscape.
