Background. Nature-based tourism is becoming more and more popular. It is focused principally on natural resources, which can be found in different protected areas. One of them are the Natura 2000 sites, which constitute a key part of nature conservation in all European Union member states. The main aim of the paper was to evaluate the potential of natural habitats for nature-based tourism at Lower Silesian Natura 2000 sites. Material and methods. The main research materials are Standard Data Forms, the completion of which is obligatory for all European Natura 2000 sites. The research was conducted for 83 Lower Silesian sites. The authors took into account the types of habitats, their forms (priority or non-priority), coverage and degree of conservation. Results and conclusions. There are 2333 types of natural habitats at the analysed region. They cover 87 722.7 ha, most of which (62%) comprise forest habitats. They are mainly well (47%) and excellently (41%) conserved. There are 28 sites with the highest potential, which are situated in the Sudetes and their Foreland.

Background. The main aim of the paper was to evaluate prospects of tourism development by analysing the tourism impacts in Lower Silesian Natura 2000 sites. According to the European Union law, it can be the reason to reduce tourism flows and investments at this kind of protected areas. Material and methods. The main research materials were plans of protection tasks, which were analysed. The research was conducted in 49 Lower Silesian sites. The authors took into account the types of tourism impact and of threatened plants, animals, and habitats. Results and conclusions. Nowadays, a half of the analysed Natura 2000 sites are not threatened by tourism activities or impacts. Neither is tourism going to be limited at one third of the total number of Natura 2000 sites in the future. Bats are the species being threatened the most. Outdoor tourism activities, such as hiking, horse riding, cycling, mountaineering, rock climbing, and speleology, and the related infrastructure are the most frequently recorded as influential and can be limited in the future in some areas.
