Nationally designated areas (CDDA) polygons for internal use - version 17, June 2019
The European inventory of Nationally designated areas (CDDA) holds information about designated areas and their designation types, which directly or indirectly create protected areas. The inventory is delivered by the Eionet partnership countries as spatial and tabular information.
The inventory began in 1995 under the CORINE programme of the European Commission. The CDDA is now an agreed annual Eionet core data flow maintained by the European Environment Agency (EEA) with support from the European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity (ETC/BD). The dataset is used by the EEA and e.g. the UNEP-WCMC for their main European and global assessments, products and services.
The CDDA is the official source of protected area information from the 39 European countries to the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA).
The CDDA data can be queried online in the European Nature Information System (EUNIS).
Geographical coverage of GIS vector boundary data: Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kosovo (UNSCR 1244/99), Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, North Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and United Kingdom.
The dataset ("CDDA_2019_v01_internal") includes the entire geographical coverage including nationally designated areas in overseas entities and is provided in GDB and GPKG formats.
NOTE: EEA does not have permission to distribute some or all sites reported by Estonia, Finland, Ireland and Türkiye. Therefore, this data set is available only for internal use of the European Environment Agency. The public version dataset is available with the title "Nationally designated areas (CDDA) polygons for public access - version 17, June 2019", which is derived from this dataset.

Production process will be explained in an update of the document CDDA_v16_2018.pdf available in the previous version of the dataset. We are waiting for ETC/BD for this task but as we are able to publish much earlier than before because of the new reporting mechanism, the ETC/BD has not planned for the time to update the report right now. In the meantime, and for reference, the document CDDA_v16_2018.pdf corresponding to the earlier version is provided together with this dataset.
