special Protection Areas (SPAs) Natura 2000 of the Department of Orne

This dataset contains the Special Protective Zones (SPAs) of the Department of Orne. These areas are part of the Natura 2000 network, a network of community areas for the protection of priority habitats and species. Each of the perimeters presented is intended to become a Special Protection Area (SPA). Special Protection Areas (SPAs) are marine and terrestrial sites that are particularly suitable for the survival and reproduction of wild bird species on a list drawn up by the Minister responsible for the environment or which serve as breeding, moulting, overwintering or relay areas for migratory bird species. The Special Protection Areas apply to the distribution area of wild birds within the European territory of the Member States of the European Union. They concern either the habitats of the species listed in Annex 1 to the Directive which includes species considered, vulnerable to certain changes in their habitats or species considered rare because their populations are small or their local distribution is restricted or those which require special attention due to the specific nature of their habitat (land or marine environments used by migratory species not listed in Annex 1 whose arrival is regular). Particular importance must be given to the protection of wetlands, especially those of international importance.
