What this layer shows
Bird observations shared with GBIF under a CC0 or CC BY 4.0 licence, plotted for the view on screen. This is not an inventory: empty ground means that nobody has looked or that the observation is not shared under a reusable licence, and a dense view shows only a sample of three hundred records at most. Records under a non-commercial licence are excluded, the stated precision is often absent, and this layer says nothing about breeding sites or resting places. Where the publisher locates a record no better than a kilometre, it is drawn as a circle of that stated radius instead of a dot.
Not in the app's radius search: Observation records, not designations: an absence here is not evidence

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.
