Zoning data for municipalities eligible for herd protection measures against predation in the Alpes de Haute-Provence department of France. The dataset, last updated on 2020-01-31, is provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and defines two risk circles based on prefectural decrees. The first circle indicates areas with observed predation in the last two years, while the second circle denotes areas requiring preventive action.
Use Cases
- Mapping predation risk zones for livestock based on the defined first and second circles.
- Analyzing eligibility for financial aid for herd protection based on the described zoning.
- Studying the spatial distribution of wolf predation incidents on domestic herds.
- Planning preventive measures like enhanced guarding or protective dog deployment in risk areas.
Strengths
- Defines two distinct risk zones (first and second circles) based on formal prefectural decrees.
- Linked to a specific rural development program measure (323 c1 of the hexagonal programme).
- Provides a legal basis by referencing the amended Order of 19 June 2009.
