EECONET emphasizes the importance of interconnection fragmented <strong>and</strong>diffuse biotopes, with ecosystems in the l<strong>and</strong>scape with econoomic use, significantlychanged or disturbed. EECONET can also play an important role in reducing theconsequences of global warming; many species are endangered, if they do not havenew habitats <strong>and</strong> routes to areas with suitable climatic conditions .Creating European Ecological Network is now focused on two levels:a. EECONET –European ecological network is a network of fully protected areas<strong>and</strong> other important elements in terms of biodiversity <strong>and</strong> ecosystems, atEuropean level,b. NECONET –National Ecological Network is a network of fully protected areas <strong>and</strong>other major national importance, in some cases at the multinational level.At the international conference in Maastricht "Towards a European EcologicalNetwork by protecting the natural heritage" in 1993, was defined EECONET as aneffective pan-European framework for a more effective nature conservation inEurope. Components EECONET concept became a full European biodiversityconservation strategies. Integrated in NECONET concept, the regional ecologicalnetworks will develop on specific physical <strong>and</strong> geographical units, consisting of fullyprotected areas, ecological corridors <strong>and</strong> areas of ecological restoration inanthropogenically disturbed areas.There have been declared the main strategic goals of biodiversity conservation at aconference in Maastricht, <strong>and</strong> formulated the conclusions, as follows (Bennett, 1994):a. protect <strong>and</strong> restore all key ecosystems <strong>and</strong> all important species of Europeanimportanceb. management of high nature value areas (including biodiversity) by means ofprofessional managers <strong>and</strong> extensive agriculture, forestry <strong>and</strong> fisheriessustainability.c. restoring natural processes with minimal interference with human activities acrossEurope;d. increase quality of the farm areas as a whole, including coastal areas forconservation of all ecosystem’s conditions.e. accept the principle of sustainability as the main principle for decision <strong>and</strong> actionplans.99
