The Natura 2000 program is an initiative by the European Union (EU) whose aim is to preserve natural environment in our continent. The process of designing a new Natura 2000, insects is now being completed. Protection of beetles is achieved by individual protection, like placing species on the list of protected animals; in Poland 77 species are on such list. But the most important is area protection, which preserves most environmentally valuable parts of our country from destruction (area protection includes: national parks, nature reserves, Nature 2000 areas etc.). In second Annex of the Habitats Directive is includes 38 beetle species which are endangered in Europe. They are the basis (besides other animals, plants and habitats) to they form the foundation to design Natura 2000 areas. 24 of them (Annex IV) must be also protected by individual strict protection on the whole EU area. In Poland 19 species listed in Annex II occur. They areconnected with two groups of habitats– forest (Rhysodes sulcatus, Carabus variolosus, C. zawadzkii, Oxyporus mannerheimii, Lucanus cervus, Osmoderma eremita, Bolbelasmus unicornis, Buprestis splendens, Limoniscus violaceus, Cucujus cinnaberinus, Phryganophilus ruficollis, Boros schneideri, Pythokolwensis, Cerambyx cerdo, Mesosa myops, Pseudogaurotina excellens, Rosalia alpina) and water (Dytiscus latissimus, Graphoderus bilineatus) (Table 1). Protection within the Natura 2000 program has a goodchance of success. Mainly because of the large scale of program (28 countries),thoughtful designation procedures, the protection, monitoring and also funding mechanisms from EUfounds. Much meaning has also checking of the conservation status in individual countries of EU by the European Commission. It is a new quality, and its role in the beetle conservation will be increasing. It is caused by continuing works on conservation measures plans and protection plans for the conservation areas in Poland, also Natura 2000 areas. The aim of those tasks is a better protection and conservation of Natura 2000 species and also hundreds of more species which live in the same habitats (Table 2, 3). Conclusions: 1. The Natura 2000 Program significantlyincreased the knowledge of range area, biology, ecology and threats of beetles included in Annexes of the Habitats Directive. 2. The Natura 2000 Program significantly improves state of protection of those species in Poland, not only on designated areas of thisnetwork, but also (in species from the Annex IV) on the whole country area. 3. Occurrence and range areas of Natura 2000 beetle species is a worktool in environmental valorization when making conservation measures plans and protection plans. 4. Natura 2000 beetle species may be also „umbrella species”, andinvolve also protection of other species living in the same habitats. 5. Due to implementation of Natura 2000 network designated on the Habitats Directive and the Birds Directive basis, the quality of environment and habitat improved for most beetle species, mainly forest beetles. 6. Functioning of Natura 2000 opened more sources of rising founds for research and protection of Natura 2000 beetle species. 7. Mesosa myops should be removed from Annex II of the Habitats Directive because it was put against the approved rules. 8. Besides 19 Natura 2000 beetle species it is also possible to record in Polanda few other species. As they occur near the border and are mostly of small size and secretive lifestyle, they can be missed during research. 9. Entry into the EU and designation of Natura 2000 areassignificantly increased the chances of survival of many endangered species of beetles in the short and long term.
