Section 4 Summary of IPA data in seven partner countries Number and area of IPAs 796 IPAs, covering a total area of 14,739,174 hectares, have been identified in the seven partner countries to date . Belarus Czech Estonia Poland Romania Slovakia Slovenia Republic No of IPAs 10 75 108 116 276 154 57 Area of IPAs (ha) 698,330 154, 569 274,690 2,547,119 340,486 546,980 10,177,000 The area range for IPAs is: • Up to 100 ha = 281 IPAs • >100 and < 1000 ha = 207 IPAs • >1000 and < 10,000 ha = 148 IPAs • >10,000 and < 100,000 = 111 IPAs • >100,000 = 43 IPAs Most countries have developed a mixture of larger mosaic IPAs to include particular species or habitats. In Slovenia, all the smaller IPAs have been amalgamated to create 57 large IPAs, which contain zones of particular features or groups of features, as well as zones for other land uses. Qualifying criteria for IPA selection IPAs can be identified for one qualifying feature, however the majority of IPAs have several qualifying features. For example, in Slovakia the Slovensky Kras IPA has 64 qualifying species and habitats, in Romania the Tinovul Lucs IPA has 55 qualifying species and habitats, and in the Czech Republic the Boletice IPA has 49 qualifying features. The following IPAs were identified under Criterion A, threatened species.There were a total of 3846 records of Criterion A species in all the IPAs.The sources for Criterion A are given in Section 2 on methodology.

Summary of IPA data 149 threatened species have only one IPA identified in any country so far, and 328 species have less than ten IPAs identified in all of the seven countries. The following IPAs were identified under Criterion C, threatened habitats.There were a total of 4575 records of Criterion C habitats in all of the IPAs.The sources for Criterion C habitats are the EU Habitats Directive and the Bern Convention.
