The Natura 2000 network comprises two types of regulatory areas: special Protection Areas (SPAs) and Special Areas of Conservation (SSAs).The SPAs are designated from the; Inventory of Important Bird Conservation Areas (IBAs) defined by European Directive 79/409/EEC of 25/04/1979 on the conservation of wild birds.The designation of SPAs is a national decision, resulting in a ministerial order, without requiring prior dialogue with the European Commission. __Origin__ Source Thematic: state of the heritage of geographical data used in Gate A Knowledge of l'State. __Partner organisations__ DDT Cher, DDTM Pas-de-Calais __Links annexes__ * [Regional Direction de l'Environnement, de l’'Aménagement et du logement du Nord — Pas-de-Calais](http://www.nord-pas-de-calais.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/) [See this page on geo.data.gouv.fr](https://geo.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/fb9e1967103df8acbe6240486ef04d7dfabbb4fa)
