Atlas de la biodiversité communale (ABC)

The "Atlas de la biodiversité communale" (ABC) is a French database that aims to document and promote local biodiversity at the municipal level. It provides valuable information about the flora, fauna, and habitats within individual municipalities or local communities. Each ABC document in the database originates from an initiative initiated by a municipality or local community that has chosen to engage in local biodiversity conservation. The responsibility for populating the ABC database lies with the local authorities, including municipalities and territorial communities. These entities are in charge of collecting and providing data on the local biodiversity and ecological characteristics within their respective regions. They are actively involved in the data collection and reporting process for their ABC initiatives. Additionally, the data collection process may involve collaboration with various stakeholders, including scientists, experts in biodiversity, nature conservation organizations, citizen scientists, and volunteers. These individuals and organizations contribute valuable data and information to the ABC database. The responsibilities and collaborations can vary from one ABC initiative to another, as they are often tailored to the specific needs and goals of each municipality or territorial community.
