Summary
This article examines the effectiveness of the Natura 2000 network in Spain for protecting freshwater fish biodiversity. It highlights that while freshwater ecosystems are critically endangered and often overlooked in conservation efforts, the Natura 2000 network provides significant coverage for many freshwater fish species. The research analyzes how well the network's protected areas align with the distribution of various freshwater fish species, identifying both conservation opportunities and gaps. The study underscores the importance of integrating freshwater-specific conservation strategies within broader protected area frameworks.
