Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Important Areas for the Conservation of Birds in the Loiret (ZICO)

IBAs are sites of major interest that host wild birds found to be of Community or European importance. Their inventory was drawn up by the Ministry of the Environment following the adoption of the European Birds Directive. The most suitable IBAs for the conservation of the most endangered Birds should be classified in whole or in part as Special Protection Areas (SPAs). These Special Protection Areas, associated with Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) resulting from the Habitats Directive, will form the network of Natura 2000 sites. This Directive requires Member States to prohibit killing or intentionally catching them, destroying or damaging their nests, collecting their eggs from the wild, intentionally disturbing them or keeping them (except for species authorised for hunting). Annex I to the Birds Directive lists the most threatened species in the Community. Each country of the European Union is responsible for inventorying areas of importance for the conservation of birds and for monitoring and monitoring species there. In France, the inventory of IBAs was conducted in 1990/91 by the League for the Protection of Birds and the Natural Heritage Department of the National Museum of Natural History on behalf of the Ministry of the Environment.

EEC Directive No 79-409 of 2 April 1979 known as the Birds Directive
EEC Directive No 92-43 of 21 May 1992 known as the Habitats Directive
Order No 2001-321 of 11 April 2001
The IBA inventory identified 285 areas covering a total area of approximately 4.7 million ha, or 8.1 % of the area of the national territory, with extensive coverage with the ZNIEFFs.It is not envisaged that this inventory should be updated as such.
In the Region Centre Val de Loire, 21 sites have been identified, of which 4 are located in the Loiret: The Massif d’Ingrannes and Lorais in the forest of Orleans, the Lac de Galetas, the Valleys of Conie and Beauce Centrale and the Valley of the Loire Orléanaise.

重要鸟区（Important Bird Areas，IBAs）是具有重大保护价值的区域，其承载的野生鸟类具有共同体或欧洲层面的保护重要性。该类区域的名录由环境部根据《欧洲鸟类指令》的施行而编制。
对于保护极度濒危鸟类而言，最适宜的重要鸟区应整体或部分划入特别保护区（Special Protection Areas，SPAs）。这些特别保护区与《生境指令》催生的特殊保育区（Special Areas of Conservation，SACs）将共同组成《自然2000》保护地网络。
该指令要求各成员国禁止猎杀、故意捕捉野生鸟类，破坏或损毁其巢穴，捡拾野生鸟卵，故意干扰鸟类，或非法饲养鸟类（经许可狩猎的物种除外）。《欧洲鸟类指令》附件一列出了欧共体范围内受威胁最严重的鸟类物种。
欧盟各成员国均需负责编制具有鸟类保护价值的区域名录，并对辖区内的鸟类物种开展监测工作。
在法国，重要鸟区的名录编制工作于1990/1991年间由法国鸟类保护联盟与国家自然历史博物馆自然遗产部代表环境部完成。（定义来源：Aten、《Legal Sheets 1998》及《EIDER术语表》）

本次重要鸟区普查共识别出285处区域，总面积约470万公顷，占法国国土总面积的8.1%，并与法国生态、动植物重要区域（Zones Naturelles d'Intérêt Écologique, Faunistique et Floristique，ZNIEFFs）实现了广泛覆盖。目前暂无对该名录进行整体更新的计划。
在中央-卢瓦尔河谷大区，现已识别出21处重要鸟区，其中4处位于卢瓦雷省：奥尔良森林中的南格兰讷-洛拉耶地块、加拉塔斯湖、科尼河谷与中央博斯地区，以及奥尔良段卢瓦尔河谷。
