This French decree renews the official approval of the Conservatoire Botanique Méditerranéen (CBM) as a National Botanical Conservatory for a period of ten years starting from its publication date in late March 2026. The approval covers specific departments in two regions: in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (Alpes-Maritimes, Bouches-du-Rhône, Var, Vaucluse) and in Occitanie (Aude, Gard, Hérault, Lozère, Pyrénées-Orientales). In addition to conservation activities in these areas, the CBM is tasked with coordinating biogeographical actions for the continental Mediterranean biogeographical region as defined by the EU Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC across all French national botanical conservatories. The renewal is conditional on the institution continuing to comply with the specifications outlined in the 18 February 2022 decree governing the approval process for national botanical conservatories.
