What this layer shows
Prefectoral orders prohibiting actions that harm a protected species' biotope: often the first hard constraint in an ecological survey, because the map is legally binding and the prohibitions apply without any prior study.

Constraints
The constraints a consultancy checks first: Natura 2000 (the basis of the impact assessment), nature reserves, biotope orders, ZNIEFFs, classified sites, historic monument surroundings and PPR flood perimeters. It does not include each PPR's detailed regulatory zoning or the PLU rules: consult the planning document for buildability.
Nature and reserves
The protected natural spaces network: Natura 2000, the réserves naturelles (nationales, régionales, de Corse), the protection orders, the national parks with their cores, the regional and marine nature parks, the Ramsar sites and the wetlands.
