Bioclimatic areas
In spite of its small size, the Basque Country offers a range of interesting resources for birdwatchers.
Due to the great variety of landscapes and ecosystems found in such a small area, a wide range of different types of birds coexist in a relatively small space.
The high level of conservation of natural milieu and biodiversity in our community is shown by the fact that 20.3% of the Basque territory is included in the Natura 2000 Network (Specially Protected Areas for Birds and Places of Community Importance), 10.6% within the Network of Natural Protected Spaces of the Basque Country and there are six Wetlands of international importance (Ramsar).
