Dataset description

IBAs are sites of major interest that host wild birds found to be of Community or European importance. Their inventory was drawn up by the Ministry of the Environment following the adoption of the European Birds Directive. The most suitable IBAs for the conservation of the most endangered Birds should be classified in whole or in part as Special Protection Areas (SPAs). These Special Protection Areas, associated with Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) resulting from the Habitats Directive, will form the network of Natura 2000 sites. This Directive requires Member States to prohibit killing or intentionally catching them, destroying or damaging their nests, collecting their eggs from the wild, intentionally disturbing them or keeping them (except for species authorised for hunting). Annex I to the Birds Directive lists the most threatened species in the Community. Each country of the European Union is responsible for inventorying areas of importance for the conservation of birds and for monitoring and monitoring species there. In France, the inventory of IBAs was conducted in 1990/91 by the League for the Protection of Birds and the Natural Heritage Department of the National Museum of Natural History on behalf of the Ministry of the Environment. (definition from: Aten, Legal Sheets 1998 & Glossary EIDER) EEC Directive No 79-409 of 2 April 1979 known as the Birds Directive EEC Directive No 92-43 of 21 May 1992 known as the Habitats Directive Order No 2001-321 of 11 April 2001 The IBA inventory identified 285 areas covering a total area of approximately 4.7 million ha, or 8.1 % of the area of the national territory, with extensive coverage with the ZNIEFFs.It is not envisaged that this inventory should be updated as such. In the Region Centre Val de Loire, 21 sites have been identified, of which 4 are located in the Loiret: The Massif d’Ingrannes and Lorais in the forest of Orleans, the Lac de Galetas, the Valleys of Conie and Beauce Centrale and the Valley of the Loire Orléanaise.
