Centre de données sur le patrimoine naturel du Québec

With its vast territory spanning approximately 1.7 million square kilometres, Québec is home to a wide range of ecosystems and a relatively large number of species. Optimizing the conservation efforts designed to preserve this biodiversity requires defining goals and priorities based on objective considerations.

Through its work, Centre de données sur le patrimoine naturel du Québec (CDPNQ) is instrumental in addressing this concern. The CDPNQ is not an independent entity but is integrated into the administrative structures of the Ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement et des Parcs, which is responsible for the management of plant species and natural communities, and the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune, which is responsible for the management of animal species.
