A 2022 geospatial dataset from the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières delineates territories within the French department of Essonne where hunting rights are not exercised, are limited, or are extended. The layer includes areas such as nature reserves, safety risk zones, and parcels where hunting is refused based on personal conviction. It does not represent territories where hunting is subject to a usual prohibition, such as roads or urban areas.
Use Cases
- Mapping areas of hunting prohibition for environmental impact assessments based on described reserve types.
- Analyzing spatial overlap of safety risk zones and nature protection regulations for land-use planning.
- Identifying territories under specific shared or limited hunting rights for wildlife management policy review.
Strengths
- Layer includes multiple specific regulatory categories described in the French Environmental Code (e.g., CE L 422-23).
- Explicitly defines scope by stating which common prohibition territories are not represented.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 2022-02-03 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
