New Aquitaine: Natural areas of ecological interest floristic and faunistic type 2 (ZNIEFF 2)

Natural zone; floristic and faunistic ecological interest of type 2 in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, at 1/25 000 ZNIEFF inventory is a national scientific inventory of rare or threatened elements. The ZNIEFF inventories are created and brought to the attention of the owners of the ZNIEFF works; application of articles L. 310-1 and L. 411-5 of the Code of the Environment. Type 1 ZNIEFFs are identified and demarcated sites because they contain species or at least one type of natural habitat of high ecological, local, regional, national or European value. Habitats and/or species reported by the ZNIEFF are often, but not necessarily, subject to protection at the #x27th level. Type 2 ZNIEFFs concern natural, rich and minimally modified ensembles with significant biological potentialities. They may include several point type 1 areas and intermediate media of less value but have a functional role and ecological and landscape coherence. ZNIEFFs are elements based on criteria that relate the presence, within a defined perimeter, of determinant species and/or media. They therefore enlighten the owner of the project in the \#x27; exercise of taking into account environmental issues (articles L. 121-1, L. 123-1 and R. 123-2 of the Code of Urbanism). The case law has highlighted the need to provide for the necessary protection of these areas in the urban planning documents, as well as their inclusion in the analyses of the impacts of projects in the field of development. In addition, ZNIEFF inventories often report the presence of ' species protected in accordance with Articles L.411-1 to L. 411-6 of the Code of L' Environment, which provide, in particular, for the destruction of individuals and the prohibition of destruction or of #x27; alteration of the environments specific to these protected animal or plant species. It is therefore necessary to provide all the necessary; attention required in case of known or suspected presence (which therefore remains to be confirmed through field studies) of #x27; species or #x27; habitats of #x27; protected species. __Origin__ INPN data __Partner organisations__ DREAL Nouvelle-Aquitaine __Links annexes__ * [direct download of data](https://catalogue.sigena.fr/rss/atomfeed/atomdataset/8049d519-c87a-4f26-851a-2de2cc715aa9) [See this page on geo.data.gouv.fr](https://geo.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/ebcb3a7e998968b841cbbd63e208b79ef1d48fb2)
