Natural Areas of Ecological Interest Family and Floristic Type 1 interregional with Burgundy-Franche-Comté

The table contains the outlines of the Natural Zones of Wildlife and Floristic Interest (ZNIEFF) type I of the 2nd generation interregional with Burgundy-Franche-Comté. The ZNIEFF inventory is fully validated. It corresponds to the contours of type I ZNIEFF 2nd generation managed by another region and of which at least one commune in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region is included in the perimeter. This table comes from the second-generation INPN Type I ZNIEFF table. The latest regional validations (by the Regional Scientific Council of Natural Heritage) date from December 2019 and the latest national validations (by the National Museum of Natural History of Paris) date from January 2020. The ZNIEFF inventory is a naturalistic and scientific inventory program launched in 1982 by the Bouchardeau Ministry responsible for the environment and confirmed by the law of 12 July 1983 known as Loi Bouchardeau. A ZNIEFF is not a regulatory protection measure but an inventory. It corresponds to the census of remarkable terrestrial, river and marine natural areas (metropole and overseas departments). The designation of a ZNIEFF is based on the presence of species or associations of species with high regional or national heritage interest. These naturalistic data are also mapped via the contours of the ZNIEFF. This knowledge base, combined with the contours, serves as a basis for prioritising the challenges of the natural heritage, makes it possible to improve their consideration before any project, but also to improve the determination of the impact of the development on these environments and finally to identify the need to protect certain fragile areas. Type I areas are sectors with a limited area, characterised by the presence of rare species and habitats, remarkable or characteristic of the regional or national natural heritage. These areas are particularly sensitive to even limited equipment or transformations.
