Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Regional nature reserve and associated perimeter of protection in the Grand East

A regional nature reserve and its associated protection area form part of the protected natural areas (ENP) which are designated or managed in an international, Community, national or local framework with a view to achieving specific objectives for the conservation of the natural heritage.

A regional nature reserve is a protected area created at the initiative of a Region, and whose natural heritage is exceptional. Classification as a regional nature reserve also pursues the objective of protecting remarkable natural habitats. It is classified as IUCN Category Ia, III or V (depending on the regulations and management objectives established).

A regional nature reserve may benefit from an additional area in a ‘buffer zone’ protected by this scheme. Depending on the case, the protection perimeter sensu stricto taken by prefectural decree is distinguished, and the protection zones defined by decree. The scope of protection can be broad and defined from a list of municipalities, particularly in the case of geological reserves.

区域自然保护区及其关联保护区域属于受保护自然区域（ENP）的组成部分，此类区域依据国际、欧洲共同体、国家或地方层面的框架划定或管理，旨在实现自然遗产保护的特定目标。

区域自然保护区是由大区主动设立的保护区域，其蕴含的自然遗产极具独特性。获评区域自然保护区同时以保护珍稀自然生境为核心目标，根据其配套法规与既定管理目标，该类保护地被划入世界自然保护联盟（International Union for Conservation of Nature，简称IUCN） Ia、III或V类保护地范畴。

区域自然保护区可依托本保护体系增设"缓冲区"作为补充保护区域。根据实际情形，需区分由省政令划定的严格意义上的保护边界，以及由法令明确界定的保护区域。保护范围可覆盖较广区域，可通过所辖市镇列表进行划定，地质保护区的情形尤为典型。
