🇬🇧 English

The order creates the Buronnières strict biological reserve on 83.77 hectares in the Ferrières regional forest, covering forest parcels in Bussy-Saint-Georges and Favières. Its purpose is to let the forest develop naturally, protect biodiversity, and support scientific knowledge about representative forest ecosystems in the Brie region. Forest exploitation and most human interventions are banned inside the reserve. Limited work remains allowed for safety, path closure, fire prevention, legal brush clearing, removal of non-native species, pond restoration, and controlled hunting of ungulates to protect ecosystem balance. Public access is also restricted, including pedestrian access except for authorized guided visits and reserve management needs.
