The article describes threats to habitat and species conservation areas in the Region of Warmia and Mazury, which are part of the Natura 2000 network. Standard Data Forms were analysed to reveal the presence of the highest level threats in two-thirds of the evaluated sites. Most of the identified threats were associated with forest management, agriculture and hydrological conditions.
