Τα αρχικά δεδομένα του Corine biotope για την Ελλάδα που οδήγησαν στο δίκτυο Natura

Η βάση δεδομένων για τους βιοτόπους Corine ήταν ένας κατάλογος της ΕΕ με σημαντικούς φυσικούς χώρους. Το έργο Corine biotopes συγκέντρωσε αξιόπιστες πληροφορίες σχετικά με ευάλωτα οικοσυστήματα, ενδιαιτήματα και είδη. Χρησιμοποιήθηκε για την καθοδήγηση της περιβαλλοντικής πολιτικής στην Ευρωπαϊκή Κοινότητα, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του σχεδιασμού της Οδηγίας για τους Οικοτόπους. Το πεδίο εφαρμογής της βάσης δεδομένων Corine biotopes επεκτάθηκε αργότερα για να συμπεριλάβει χώρες της Κεντρικής και Ανατολικής Ευρώπης.

Η βάση δεδομένων του Corine biotope αποτέλεσε την βάση για την δημιουργία του δικτύου Natura 2000, σε πολλές χώρες τις Ευρώπης.

Στην Ελλάδα η βάση δεδομένων για τους βιοτόπους Corine συντάχθηκε το 1986 και συμπληρώθηκε το 1989 από τους:

• Ben Hallmann, Oλλανδό βιολόγο ορνιθολόγο ο οποίος μετά από τις σπουδές του ήρθε στην Ελλάδα και πραγματοποίησε έρευνα βασιζόμενος σε πληροφορίες καταγραφές ξένων κυρίως ορνιθολόγων. Με κέντρο την Δαδιά αρχικά και στην συνέχεια την Ραψάνη όπου έμενε μέχρι τον Μάιο του 2024 οπότε απεβίωσε, γύρισε όλη την Ελλάδα καταγράφοντας κυρίως τα πουλιά αλλά και άλλες ομάδες πανίδας την οποία γνώριζε πολύ καλά. Μετά το 1990 συνεργάστηκε με την Ελληνική Ορνιθολογική Εταιρεία στην σύνταξη του καταλόγου των Σημαντικών Περιοχών για τα Πουλιά της Ελλάδας και με πολλούς Έλληνες ορνιθολόγους πραγματοποίησε συστηματικές καταγραφές στο πεδίο. Προσωπικά χρωστάω μεγάλη χάρη στο Ben διότι μαζί του έμαθα τις μεθόδους καταγραφής και να αναγνωρίζω τα πουλιά στην πράξη.
• Γιώργο Σφήκα, που ξεκίνησε ως ζωγράφος φυτών και εξελίχθηκε σε πολύ καλό γνώστη της ελληνική χλωρίδας.  Έχει ανακαλύψει αρκετά νέα για την επιστήμη είδη φυτών και σε δύο από αυτά έχει δοθεί το όνομα του (Viola sfikasiana και Colchicum sfikasianum). Έχει διατελέσει πρόεδρος της Ελληνικής Εταιρείας Προστασίας της Φύσης.

Η βάση δεδομένων είναι πλέον πολύ παλιά, αλλά έχει ιστορική αξία καθώς τα στοιχεία συμπληρώθηκαν με πολλές καταγραφές που πραγματοποιήθηκαν στην συνέχεια. Έχει ιδιαίτερη σημασία για ορισμένες περιοχές που δεν εντάχθηκαν τελικώς στο δίκτυο των τόπων Natura, αν και ορισμένες είχαν περιληφθεί στον αρχικό επιστημονικό κατάλογο. Έχει επίσης σημασία για είδη τα οποία έχουν εξαφανιστεί από ορισμένες περιοχές. Έχει αναρτηθεί σε σελίδα του ΕΠΜ https://filotis.itia.ntua.gr με χάρτη, αλλά χωρίς τα πληθυσμιακά δεδομένα που υπάρχουν σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις. Την αναρτώ εδώ σε απλή μορφή για να αναζητήσει όποιος θέλει στοιχεία. Τα ονόματα των ειδών είναι με το επιστημονικό τους όνομα ενώ τα ονόματα των περιοχών με λατινικούς χαρακτήρες. Η αναζήτηση μπορεί να γίνει και με το όνομα του Νομού.

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character Large river delta with fresh, saline and brackish lakes and marsh
es, coastal sandy islets and mudflats, riverine forests, pasturea
nd agricultural land. Also large freshwater lakes and rice fields
on Turkish part of the delta. Between different fauna regions an
d close to other diverse and less disturbed natural ecosystems:
Quality One of the 5 best wetlands in Greece. Though now reduced in signi
ficance, it may support a diverse bird population if protection i
ntroduced. Formerly breeding site for Spoonbill, Crane and Grey-l
ag Goose. One of 4 Greek colonies of Cormorant. Small islets offs
hore and in lagoons have important colonies of Gull-billed,Sandwi
ch Terns, Common tern and Pratincole. Waders breed in the delta.
Remnant populations of rare birds of prey. Important for migrator
y and wintering waterfowl. Flamingo resident since 1983 but not y
et breeding:
Vulnerability Excessive shooting seriously affects wildfowl numbers and is the
main threat to resident birds of prey, migratory and wintering bi
rds. Marsh vegetation and nesting birds suffer from overgrazing b
y cattle. Poor water management damages vegetation and bird life:
Designation Control is virtually absent. Only appropriate conservation manage
ment could rehabilitate the habitats to some degree. A Ramsar Con
vention Site. The present no-hunting zone of ca 7000 ha does not
include Evros river and estuary habitats. Proposed Council of Eur
ope Biogenetic Reserve:

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character Large area of forest; mostly deciduous but some pine, mixed fores
t oak maquis brushwood and alluvial forest along streams. In lowe
r more eroded foothills there are rocky outcrops, ravines, cliffs
and streams with water most of the year. Unproductive areas haveb
een transformed into terraced pine plantations. Near villages are
old small-scale fields with hedges, bocages and old trees. Most
of the area is grazed:
Quality As a whole the Evros area is known to have the highest diversityo
f birds of prey and of herpetofauna in Europe. 24 species of bree
ding raptor; 12 more species appear on passage or in winter. Rich
well-studied fauna:
Vulnerability Some rare eagles and vultures on the brink of extinction due to i
ntensive forest exploitation and hunting:
Designation Efforts at conservation well advanced but poorly implemented. Res
erve of 30 000 ha in pine forest but only 7200 ha where shootinga
nd forestry are prohibited. Proposal for Biogenetic Reserve of 1
18 000 ha including the Evros Delta:

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character Natural freshwater lake on the Thracian coast where the Filiourir
iver enters the sea. On the west the lake is bordered by the edge
of a cultivated plateau, in the south by salt marsh and the floo
d plain with smaller lakes and old riverbeds. Mitrikou lake is su
rrounded by reed beds with willow along the river. In summer itis
covered by floating vegetation (Trapa natans), providing nesting
sites for Chlidonias hybridus (colony destroyed in 1986 as sea w
ater entered lake):
Quality Among the last colonies in Greece of Spoonbill and Glossy Ibis wi
th perhaps Egretta alba, Ardea purpurea and Ixobrychus minutus. A
few pairs of Ardea cinerea. Important for breeding wildfowl and
waders. Important migration and wintering area for duck, geese, t
erns and gulls:
Vulnerability Threatened by pollution, illegal hunting, reclamation, water extr
action, pesticide/fertilizer run-off and by herbicides applied to
combat floating vegetation which hinders fishing:

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character A series of coastal lakes. The largest, L. Vistonis, has brackish
water with freshwater inflow from two rivers. The other lagoons
are saline.Lake Mitrikou had fresh water until 1986. Lake Messi h
as salinas. Lake Vistonis has extended marshes, adjacent zones of
Tamarix scrub, salt marsh, freshwater pools and wet meadows. The
rivers entering Lake Vistonis haveriverine forest and sandflats
in their estuaries:
Quality Bird life abundant at all seasons. There is one heronry in a pine
plantation in Porto Lago; another with Nycticorax in the reeds.N
esting waders and terns are widespread. Adjacent hills have impor
tant diverse populations of birds of prey feeding around the mars
hes. Since 1983 increasing population (more than 2000) Flamingo i
n the salt lakes. Dalmatian pelican winter in the Porto Lago lago
ons. Very important migration and wintering area for many species
of waterfowl. Proximity of many lakes offer better protection an
d refuge from shooting disturbance:
Vulnerability Importance of site as a wintering area for wildfowl is reduced by
shooting. Vistonis lake suffers from pollution (sewage of Xanthi
town). Heronry in Porto Lago protected. Marshes, wet meadows and
riparian woods around lake Vistonis seriously threatened by recla
mation plans (1987). Mitrikou lake (Mana) now badly affected by w
ater extraction for agriculture, after which intruding sea water
destroyed the original ecosystem (1986):
Designation Little protection – only one small zone protected from shooting.

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character A very large forest area between the river Nestos and the Bulgari
an border, on the ridge of the Rodopi mountains. It includes thev
irgin forest of Paranestion (Partheno Dasos of Stavronema, Zagrad
enia) but consists mainly of beech and pine forest with oak scrub
at lower altitudes:
Quality The upper part is virgin forest of national and European importan
ce. Southernmost occurrence of this high-altitude forest, with Fa
gus sylvatica, Abies alba and Picea abies. Important for large ma
mmals and large birds of prey. The only site in Greece for Caperc
aillie and perhaps Bonasa bonasia. Rich diversity of woodpecker.
Otters live in the Nestos river and tributaries and the very rare
Lynx may survive. Herpeta include Vipera berus (rare in Greece):
Vulnerability Wildlife seriously threatened by shooting and poaching although h
unting is formally banned in much of the site; Forest heavily exp
loited. Recently, further remote parts have been opened up and fe
lled down. No-shooting zone insufficient to protect brown bears.
A large reservoir and hydro-electric station is being constructed
on the Nestos river:

ery important breeding area for herons, cormorants, spoonbills ib
ises, terns, waders and Ferruginous Duck. Rich populations of bir
ds of prey and large mammals in surrounding hills, including perh
aps lynx and bear. There is a rich herpetofauna:
Vulnerability
Designation Recently the lake has been protected from shooting. Further conse

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character The National Park Mikra Prespa is situated on the frontiers with
Yugoslavia and Albania (part of the lake is Albanian). The Mikra
Prespa lake is separated from the larger Megali Prespa by a flat
strip of sand. The lake is at an altitude of 853 m, has maximum
depth of 14 m and covers 4800 ha. The lake has large shallow zone
s with marshy vegetation and wet meadows; also steep rocky shores
. Higher mountain slopes have deciduous forests. A lower hill nea
r the lake has a unique stand of Juniperus excelsa:
Quality Noted as a breeding site for both pelican species; the larger of
two such sites in Greece. Site of a heronry and the main breeding
site in Greece for Anser anser rubirostris. Small relict populat
ion of Goosander, unique in Greece and the southernmost in Europe
. The same is probably true for Shoveler. Important also for larg
e birds of prey and for wintering diving ducks. Bears survive in
mountain deciduous forests. A stand of Juniperus excelsa near the
lake is proposed to become a biogenetic rererve:
Vulnerability Major developments in 1985 and 1986 have affected natural and sem
i-natural zones around the lake. Run-off of agricultural chemical
s, and a new fish farm have caused pollution of the lake and its
basin. Bears are still shot illegally (3 individuals in 1986):
Designation National park, a part is unprotected. The Mikra Prespa lake, incl
uding its shores, is protected as the core zone of the National P
ark:

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character Large mountain massif separated by the Aoos river. Timfi is furth
er divided by the Vikos gorge of the Voidomatis river – the mosts
pectacular canyon in Greece. Extensive forest, high table land wi
th summer pasture. Rugged peaks, rocks and cliffs at all altitude
s. Permanent snow:
Quality A splendid wilderness area with high ecological value maintained
by its extent and inaccessibility which leaves remote corners unt
ouched. Many large mammals, eagles and vultures survive. Recent r
ecord of lynx. A large series of rare and/or endemic plants have
been identified:
Vulnerability The construction of roads threaten to eliminate wildlife refuges.
:
Designation An area of 12600 ha is protected as the Vikos-Aos National Park.
Change may occur due to the construction of dams, lakes and infra
structure in the Aoos river valley. Other threats are tourism and
ski facilities:

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character Estuary of Kalamas River has two branches; a channel (constructed
in 1951) building up a new delta with mud flats and saltmarshes;
and an old river bed with large lagoons, some riverine woods but
cut-off from the sea by sand (of its own deposits) within the pla
in of the delta. Some hills, including a large one with some fore
st and dense scrub:
Quality Although much of the area has been reclaimed for arable farming,i
mportant natural zones remain and its isolated position near the
Albanian border has contributed to the maintenance of a rich bird
population. There is a heronry. A very important area for birds
of prey in all seasons with very valuable breeding species. Other
fauna not well studied, but otters are present:
Vulnerability Threatened by industrial development. Water of Kalamas river thre
atened by pollution from (a relent proposal) to discharge sewage
of Ioanina town:

Quality Important area for breeding and migratory waterfowl with nesting
herons, ducks and grebes and many rare raptors:
Vulnerability Lake is eutrophic and becoming more polluted from agricultural ru
n-off of fertilizers and pesticides. Shallow water is sensitive t
o fluctuations in precipitation and water extraction for agricult
ure and industry. Breeding birds of prey seriously threatened. La
ke seriously threatened: in 1986 and 1987, lake dried up due to w

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character A lagoon between hills and brackish lakes, separated from the sea
by a broad strip of sand with pine forest. There is salt marsh ne
ar the Kalogria lagoon. Lamia lakes have extensive reeds. A longc
anal parallel to the coast through the Strofilia forest providesa
n outlet to the sea, makes dunes, beaches and half the forest ina
ccessible to the public and protects an interesting and intact co
astal forest ecosystem:
Quality Large mammals (eg. Jackals, Otters) abound. Birds of prey in thef
orest; some waterfowl nest in the reedmarshes. The only site ofWh
ite Stork in the Peloponesos. Important for migratory herons, bir
ds of prey, ibis, waders, terns, gulls:
Vulnerability Shallow lakes are sensitive to manipulation of waterlevels. Touri
st development has recently started:

Character Very wild mountain massif on the SW coast of Crete; several spect
acular deep and narrow ravines of which the famous Samaria gorgeh
as become a National Park; various peaks and a high plateau land
still intensively grazed although attempts have been made to free
certain areas from domestic goats in order to protect the wild g
oats living in the gorges. Little forest except for pines and eve
rgreen oaks on some slopes:
Quality Bird life includes the Lammergeyer, Griffon Vulture and Golden Ea
gle. Large number of endemic and other rare plants. Unrivaled fau
na with the only population of pure wild goat in Europe and other
endemic subspecies of fauna:

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character Most forested mountain of Crete. Chiefly scrub at lower altitudes
; Pinus nigra at higher levels.In this region there are high, bar
e looking peaks which have been degraded as a result of over graz
ing. On the southern slopes of the mountain there are woods of Cu
pressus sempervirens, Quercus coccifera and Acer creticum:
Quality The only site of Pinus nigra on the island. Several endemic plant
s. Rare fauna including Cretan spiny mouse, Chameleon, Lammergeye
r, Griffon Vulture and other birds of prey. Despite the obvious d
egradation the region has an important ecological value due to th
e rare flora:
Vulnerability Threats may include uncontrolled touristic development, over graz

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character A National Park comprising a representative part of the Pindos mo
untains. Bare peaks and rocky ridges. Forests (mainly pine) on sl
opes. Valleys with permanent streams and many springs. Open mixed
woodland of great beauty.This area also contains three small mou
ntain lakes, where Triturus alpestris and other amphibians live.
On the lower part run two small rivers (trout zone). The soil is
serpentine and there is also a region of box thickets:
Quality Important for brown bear, maybe Imperial Eagle, Golden Eagles and
vultures in summer. Eight woodpecker species. Also wild cat, cha
mois, roe deer, wolf and otter. Several rare Pindos endemic plant
species growing on the Serpentine soil. Only locality in Greece
for Trifolium pilczii:
Vulnerability In this region there is limited forestry, shooting and stock farm
ing. Much destruction in recent years. Road constructions much im
paires survival of rare species:
Designation National park status, however, much impaired by construction of d
ams, roads and hydro-electric plant:
Ownership The area is totally owned by the state:

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character Rugged forested mountain with bare peak and many gorges and preci
pices. In this area there are forests of deciduous trees such as
Castanea sativa. There are also forests of pine and fir trees. At
high altitudes the slopes are bare and rocky. Secluded situation
on the eastern most point of the three prongs of Chalkidiki:
Quality Not well explored but is known to have endemic plants and rich fa
una and flora, including many endemic species and two in danger o
f extinction. Only site in Greece for Galanthus nivalis ssp. niva
lis, and only site in Europe for the Asiatic plant Heracleum humi
le. Important bird species are Black Stork, Eagle Owl, Golden Eag
le and other birds of prey, wolf and many wild boar. Southern mos
t presence of Capercaille in Europe. Absence of grazing at high a
ltitude favours interesting plants:
Vulnerability There is no danger from any extensive human activity:

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character This is an area covered mostly by woods of Abies cephalonica. The
re are also woods of Pinus halepensis, Mediterranean maquis, mou
ntain grassland, rocky cliffs, ravines, springs and rivulets:
Quality Very interesting region for the protection of the flora and fauna
of southern Greece. It is the only area of southern Greece where
the Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) survives. Not much other wildlife;
but area with some birds of prey such as Short-toed Eagle, someti
mes Griffon Vulture, Golden Eagle and Eagle Owl:
Vulnerability The increasing touristic activity due to the proximity to Athens
is the main threat to the rare flora. There is also limited illeg
al shooting:
Designation National park. The northern part is a game reserve. Proposed as s
pecial protection area under bird directive 409/79:
Ownership Over 75% of the area is owned by the state. Inside the national p

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character Kerkini lake is situated between well forested mountains and is b
iologically very productive,in spite of intensive exploitation (f
ishery). Large forests provide shelter for large mammals and bird
s of prey that profit from wetland as a food resource:
Quality Biological richness related to diversity and proximity to wetland
and mountain ecosystems. Very high diversity in bird species and
likely also in other fauna:
Vulnerability Strymon river still has clean water, but pollution upstream in Bu
lgaria might affect lake. Fishery should not increase further and
may already have passed sustainable levels. Forestry and hunting
may affect large mammals and birds:
Designation Area would need more protection and protective management:

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character This region is covered in the major part by forests of coniferous
and deciduous trees. There are woodlands of Pinus silvestris and
Pinus nigra and sporadic appearance of Picea abies and Abies bor
isii-regis. We also find woodlands of Fagus silvatica mixed with
Fagus moesiaca. There are open areas and grasslands as well as mo
untain cliffs. Also this region has many rivulets and small river
s with impetuous and cool waters (Trout zone):
Quality Area of high interest on account of endemic species of plants and
other plants with restricted distribution. There are also rare s
pecies of birds and insects:
Vulnerability The intensive lumbering coupled with an extensive road network an
d the lack of forest guards will surely endanger the rare species
of fauna and flora:

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character This is a region of 10 K.m. in length surrounded by high peaks. T
here are all types of vegetation; riparian forests of Platanus, S
alix, Populus and Alnus, Sclerophyllus shrubs and woods of decidu
ous and coniferous trees or mixed woods. In the higher zone there
are woods of Pinus heldreichii and rocky mountain cliffs. Small
mountain streams run from the peaks down to the river Aoos which
runs at the bottom of the ravine.There is also a very interesting
small valley called «Laka tou tsoumani» with springs and semi-pe
rmanent lakes with Triturus alpestris. Higher up there is a small
permanent mountain lake called «Drakolimni», and a small stand o
f Juniperus foetidissima:
Quality The great variation of biotopes, the rare flora and fauna and the
beautiful landscape make this region one of the most interesting
for its ecology:
Vulnerability At the present time the only serious threat is the legal and ille
gal shooting. There are plans for the construction of a dam for a
Hydro-electric power station:

SITE DESCRIPTION
Character It is a region of high bare looking, rocky peaks and deep gorges.
Locally, there are forests of Cypressus sempervirens, Pinus bruti
a and Quercus coccifera. On the lower slopes there are shrubs and
Phrygana. At the bottom of the Samaria gorge runs a torrent. In
the gorges there are small riparian forests of Oriental plane:
Quality Very important region for the protection of the rare flora of Cre
te because of the presence of a great number of endemic plants. O
ther interesting features of the region are the presence of Capra
aegagrus cretica and the big birds of prey:
Vulnerability The over grazing is the main threat to the flora of the region. T
he rare fauna is endangered by the illegal shooting and poisonous
bait. At present (1988-1989), many roads are being constructed,
with E.C. funding to improve stock farming, that will invoke many
other disturbances:
Designation A part of the region (Samaria gorge) is a national park and is fa
irly well protected. Rest of area needs much better protection!:
Ownership 5100ha. of the Samaria national park is owned by the state. Absen
