Abstract: Natura 2000, the largest network of protected areas in the world, is the EU's approach to the protection of its habitats and species. National implementations of the directives that define it should be based on scientific argumentation but practice has showed that they are affected by stakeholders, whose power relations and different normative standpoints have led to very diverse formal and practical implementations of the Network. Croatia as the 28th EU member country has faced the same process, where a working group has been established in order to define which forest areas should be protected under Natura 2000 and which management measures should be implemented to protect forest-dependent species.
