Natural Zones d' Ecological, Faunistic and Floristic Type I Interest (Second Generation Updated as part of the Â#x27; Permanent Inventory). The sectors that may be concerned relate to the whole national, land, river and marine territory (including overseas departments).

The ZNIEFF inventory is carried out at the regional scale by specialists whose work is validated by the Regional Scientific Council of Natural Heritage (RCPN) appointed by the prefect of region. The data are then transmitted to the National Museum of Natural History by DIREN (responsible for technical, administrative and financial coordination of l’' inventory at regional level) for evaluation and integration into the computerised national file. Regions may be involved in the conduct of this inventory as part of their competences. In addition, local and regional authorities can contribute to the knowledge of the natural heritage by carrying out local inventories. The prefect of the region, the prefects of departments and the other local authorities concerned are informed of these preparations. L' inventory is conducted under the scientific responsibility of the MNHN. At the time of the preparation of a plan, programme or project, the prefect shall communicate to the municipality or to the competent public institution of inter-communal cooperation all the information contained in the #x27; inventory useful for this elaboration. __Partner organisations__ DREAL Pays de la Loire __Links annexes__ * [direct download of data](https://catalogue.sigloire.fr/rss/atomfeed/atomdataset/28beb4a0-d063-11de-b18a-00004f6210c3) [See this page on geo.data.gouv.fr](https://geo.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/4372b0ffc456011e7cb3b3660538d9e059560876)
