This publication summarises the results of the European Red List for terrestrial and freshwater habitats. It provides an overview on the character, extent and status of 233 natural and semi-natural, terrestrial and freshwater habitat types through assessments undertaken between 2013 to 2016. Overall, 36% of the habitats assessed (31% for EU28+) were in the three threatened categories: Critically Endangered (less than 2% of the total), Endangered (11%) and Vulnerable (24%). Mires and bogs are the most threatened groups of habitats in the EU28 (with 85% in the threatened categories), followed by Grasslands (53%), Freshwater habitats (46%) and Coastal habitats (45%).
