SUP_AC3 — Protected Areas Related to Nature Reserves

Nature reserves. A nature reserve, and its possible associated protection area, are part of the protected natural areas (ENP) which 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. A nature reserve is a protected area on land or sea, created by the state, regional council or local authority of Corsica, and whose natural heritage is exceptional, both in terms of biodiversity and sometimes geodiversity. A classification as a nature reserve takes place to ensure the conservation of this exceptional heritage. It is a highly regulated area, exempt from any artificial intervention likely to degrade it and which benefits from a management plan. It is classified as IUCN Category Ia, III or V (depending on the regulations and management objectives established). Several nature reserves benefit from an additional area in ‘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.自然保护区。自然保护区及其可能附带的保护区域，均属于保护地（protected natural areas，ENP）的范畴——此类保护地在国际、欧洲共同体、国家或地方框架内完成划定与管理，以实现自然遗产保护的特定目标为宗旨。自然保护区是由科西嘉的国家机构、大区议会或地方当局划定的陆地或海洋保护区域，其拥有在生物多样性乃至部分情形下的地质多样性层面均属卓越的自然遗产。将某区域认定为自然保护区，核心目的是保障这类卓越遗产的长效保护。该区域受到严格管控，不得进行任何可能导致其退化的人为干预，并配有专属管理计划。其被归类为国际自然保护联盟（International Union for Conservation of Nature，简称IUCN）Ia类、III类或V类保护区，具体类别取决于既定的管控规则与管理目标。部分自然保护区还设有受该保护体系覆盖的额外"缓冲区"区域。根据具体情形，需区分由省长令划定的严格意义上（sensu stricto）的保护边界，以及由政令界定的保护区域。保护范围可较为宽泛，可通过纳入一系列市镇来划定，针对地质保护区的情况尤为如此。
