Map Viewing Service (WMS) of the dataset: Biotope protection area in the Loiret

A Biotope Protection Area (BPA) is one of the protected natural areas (ENPs) that are designated or managed within an international, Community, national or local framework with a view to achieving specific objectives for the conservation of the natural heritage.

The purpose of the biotope protection area is to conserve the habitat of protected species.
It is a regulatory protection tool at the departmental level, the implementation of which is relatively flexible.
It is one of the priority protected areas of the Protected Areas Strategy (SCAP) and is classified as IUCN Category IV as a management area.
Most biotope protection areas are monitored either directly through a committee under the authority of the Prefect or indirectly through schemes such as Natura 2000 and through local ownership.

In the case of a biotope protection order defining several zones where separate rules apply (e.g.:
rivers on the one hand and watershed on the other), the geometry to be used to map the protection area corresponds to the largest geographical envelope.

生物群落保护区（Biotope Protection Area，BPA）是依据国际、共同体、国家或地方框架划定或管理的受保护自然区域（Protected Natural Areas，ENPs），旨在为保护自然遗产达成特定目标。

该类保护区的设立宗旨，在于保护受保护物种的栖息生境。

它属于部门层级的规范性保护工具，实施方式相对灵活。

其为保护区战略（Protected Areas Strategy，SCAP）划定的优先保护区域之一，且作为管理类区域被归类为世界自然保护联盟（International Union for Conservation of Nature，IUCN）IV类管理区。

多数生物群落保护区的监测工作，要么由省长管辖下的委员会直接开展，要么通过诸如Natura 2000一类的保护计划以及地方权属主体间接实施。

若某生物群落保护令划定了多个适用不同规则的区域（例如：河流片区与流域片区），则用于绘制该保护区保护范围的地理几何边界，应采用覆盖范围最大的地理包络线。
