This Toolkit is a practical guide for practitioners involved in the management of Natura 2000 sites. It is hoped that the Toolkit will inspire managers and help them explore the existing and potential economic and social benefits of their sites. The purpose of this Toolkit is to increase the awareness of the positive existing and potential role of the Natura 2000 network by providing guidance that can help identify and value the various socio-economic benefits provided by the Natura 2000 sites. In addition, the Toolkit also aims to improve the communication of these benefits to different stakeholders and the general public. It is particularly hoped that the Toolkit will provide practical assistance in making the Natura 2000 related benefits clearer and more tangible in practice.
