National strategy for Biodiversity (2014), Ministerial Decision 40332/2014

The biodiversity of Greece and the ecosystem services that it supports, are viewed as being of national importance. Natural capital is evaluated to facilitate the rational management, effective protection and restoration of its intrinsic value, due to the substantial contribution of biodiversity to the society’s welfare and economic prosperity. By 2050, it is aimed to have prevented all destructive changes caused by the loss of biodiversity.
