| Remark | In the future this protection type will also cover geological sites (arrêté de protection de géotope). Check out our internet site http://inpn.mnhn.fr/docs/SyntheseAPB_fevrier2008.pdf for more information : after 30 years of existence, the “arrêté de protection de biotope” (biotope protection order) has become a major nature protection tool in France, with a total of 672 sites distributed all over the country, covering more than 324,000 hectares. For the 1st time, a synthesis is available on the species and habitats protected through this device in mainland France, Corsica and overseas (Réunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guyana, Mayotte). Commonly used for the protection of bogs and marshes, it includes many other habitats such as cliffs, caves and dry grasslands. This document highlights the key role played in the conservation of species of fauna and flora of community interest, especially as a framework of the Natura 2000 network (mainland France and Corsica) and also as a tool |
