OpenStreetMap+ Protected nature areas in continental Europe (IUCN status + Natura 2000)

<p>Twelve maps of continental Europe indicating the protected nature area status in 2019 according to <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/natura2000/index_en.htm">Natura 2000</a> and the <a href="https://www.iucn.org/">International Union for Conservation of Nature</a> (IUCN). The IUCN status was extracted from crowdsourced data obtained from OpenStreetMap through geofabrik.de.</p> <p>This dataset contains:</p> <ul> <li>3 raster maps representing Natura 2000 protection status (A, B and C), named <strong>Natura2000_[status].tif</strong></li> <li>8 raster maps representing OSM-derived IUCN protection status&nbsp;(1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and &#39;other&#39;), named <strong>OSM_IUCN_[status].tif</strong></li> <li>1 aggregated map (<strong>adm_protected.area_natura2000.osm_p_30m_0..0cm_2019..2021_eumap_epsg3035_v0.1</strong>) where each of the 11 protection statuses, as well as pixels where multiple statuses apply, are assigned a unique&nbsp;value. This map can also be accessed interactively at <a href="https://maps.opendatascience.eu/?base=OpenStreetMap%20(grayscale)&amp;layer=Natura2000-OSM%20Protected%20areas&amp;zoom=4&amp;eye=5000000&amp;center=53.7139,17.0066&amp;opacity=45">maps.opendatascience.eu</a>.</li> </ul> <p>All files are provided as&nbsp;<a href="https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/cog.html">Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs</a>&nbsp;and projected in the Coordinate Reference System ETRS89 / LAEA Europe (= EPSG code 3035). Styling files for the aggregated raster are provided in both&nbsp;<strong><em>SLD</em></strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong><em>QML</em></strong>&nbsp;format.</p>
