SEIS for Monitoring Biodiversity in Protected Areas
• Developed under the Sectoral Operational Programme Environment – Priority Axis 4
• Available at local, regional and national level
• Provide information on the widest possible range of questions relating to nature
conservation, including the Birds and Habitats Directives, i.e. not focus exclusively
on Natura 2000
Romanian SEIS Purpose:
• to lead us to a decentralized but integrated and web-enabled, national environmental information
system - based on a network of public information providers (protected areas management
authorities) that share environmental data and information – in order to monitor biodiversity
• ensuring interoperability and expanding the access to spatial data, metadata, web services and
applications as part of the Romanian national spatial infrastructure
• providing information on natural variability and an early warning system for large-scale
environmental disturbances
• support stakeholders in protected sites management activities
• national and regional reporting of status and trend in species and habitats integrity
• fulfilling Romanian legal reporting obligations under EU and sustaining environment-related
INSPIRE challenges
SEIS
Arhitecture
Each tier includes
indicators, measures,
monitoring and reporting
tools that are intended
to operate at a range
of scales.
These three tiers
collectively contribute
to measuring and
reporting on biodiversity
integrity.
Biodiversity GeoPortals as SEIS for monitoring
biodiversity
• Based on Esri Geoportal Server -
enables users to provide, manage,
query, display and explore data
regarding flora and fauna in the
protected areas
• INSPIRE compliant in terms of metadata,
search and discovery services
• User functionality
- discovery and viewing of spatial data
sets and services for biodiversity
(WMS, WFS, etc.)
- using a federated search based on
metadata
- exploring live data using the
integrated map viewer
- publishing new datasets using the
Online Metadata Editor and Inspire
Metadata Standards

Biodiversity Geoportals linked to National eReporting
System • This national e-reporting system was implemented in a Consortium with the National Institute of Biology, and
has already made significant progress to support Romanian legal reporting obligations under European Union
and International Environmental Policies and Legislation
Roadmap
• Further work was focused on unifying all these local solutions and
data in the E-Reporting System, with national coverage, developed in
association with the Romanian National Institute of Biology.
• For a successful implementation at national level it is tremendously
important to have a decentralized solution in order to develop a large
scale assessment.
• The National E-Reporting System will further address and sustain the
INSPIRE Directive Implementation in Romania.
• Redundancy in biodiversity geospatial information is still a gap in
Romania
