Availability
The Biological Valuation Map (BVM) and the Natura 2000-habitatmap is regularly updated. The maps are available online for consultation and download.
In the online map application there is a selection menu on the right. For the consultation of both maps you first have to choose the theme ‘Milieu en natuur’ in the selection list followed by ‘natuur’. There select the layers ‘Biologische waarderingskaart’ - versie 2 and ‘Kaartlabels Biologische waarderingskaart – karteringseenheden’ for the Biological Valuation Map or ‘Natura 2000 Habitatkaart’ and ‘Kaartlabels Natura 2000 Habitat’ for the Natura 2000-habitatmap. The layers are only visible from the scale of 1: 45.000 and beyond. Zooming to a municipality or street is possible using the search option.
Users with access to GIS-software (there is free GIS-software available online) can download both maps by navigating to ‘Biologische_Waarderingskaart_en_Natura_2000_Habitatkaart_Toestand_2023’, available in both shapefile and GML-format.
