Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Integral Park Reserve

A National Park Integral Reserve is one of the protected natural areas (NPAs) that are designated or managed within an international, community, national or local framework with a view to achieving specific natural heritage conservation objectives. A ‘full reserve’ may be established in the heart of a national park in order to ensure, for scientific purposes, greater protection of certain elements of fauna and flora. Full National Park Reserves are established taking into account human occupation and its characteristics. Full reserves are not established by the same text as the national park (separate decree). Full Park Reserves may fall under IUCN Category Ia. Legal references: Articles L.331-16 and R.331-53 to R.331-54 of the Environmental Code. For more information, see ATEN [4]: http://ct78.espaces-naturels.fr/parc-national The protected natural areas in the project are not included in this dataset. National park cores are defined as the land and/or maritime areas to be protected. There is strict regulation and priority is given to the protection of environments, species, landscapes and heritage. National park cores are part of the protected areas primarily covered by the strategy for the creation of protected areas. They usually correspond to category IUCN II. A national park membership area is defined as all or part of the territory of the municipalities which, having a vocation to be part of the national park due in particular to their geographical continuity or their ecological solidarity with the heart, have decided to adhere to the charter of the national park and voluntarily contribute to this protection. The membership area is determined by the effective accession of the municipalities (while the decree establishing the national park mentions an optimal area of membership). When the membership area is a marine area, it is also designated as the adjacent marine area of the national park. An area of accession is intended to be an exemplary space for sustainable development.Membership areas are classified as IUCN V. Legal references: Articles L.331-1 to L.331-29 and R.331-1 to R.331-85 of the Environmental Code.
