Biotope Protection Prefectural Order (APPB) in Burgundy-Franche-Comté

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 of conservation of the natural heritage.The Biotope Protection Area is intended to conserve the habitat of protected species. It is a departmental-level regulatory protection tool, the implementation of which is relatively flexible. It is one of the protected areas under 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 prefect’s authority or indirectly through arrangements such as Natura 2000 and by local stakeholders.In the case of a biotope protection order defining several areas where separate rules apply (e.g.: 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.Legal references: Articles L411-1, L411-2, R411-15 to R411-17 and R415-1 of the Environmental Code.

生境保护区（Biotope Protection Area, BPA）是依据国际、社区、国家或地方框架划定或管理的自然保护地（protected natural areas, ENPs）之一，旨在实现自然遗产保护的特定目标。生境保护区旨在保护受保护物种的栖息地，属于省级监管保护工具，实施方式相对灵活。它是保护地战略（Protected Areas Strategy, SCAP）框架下的保护地类型之一，被归类为国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）第四类管理区。
大多数生境保护区要么通过省长管辖下的委员会直接开展监测，要么通过诸如自然2000（Natura 2000）以及当地利益相关方参与的相关安排间接进行监测。
当生境保护令划定多个适用不同规则的区域时（例如：一部分为流域区域，另一部分为其他类型区域），用于绘制该保护区域地图的地理几何边界应采用最大地理覆盖范围。
