The dataset identifies the winners whose data can be made public.

• Name of space
• Address (for public sites)
• Insee code and name of the municipality
• Type of space (public green space, private collective space, corporate green space, individual garden, other)
• Open to the public (Yes/No)
• Actions carried out
• Substrate thickness
• Photo

By 2027, the objective is to achieve the labeling of 500 green spaces of less than 20.000 m² in order to build a network of biodiversity islands, managed ecologically.

All public or private spaces located in Île-de-France, with a potential to host biodiversity and meeting the following criteria are eligible:

• vegetated spaces in the open ground, on slabs or roofs with a minimum substrate thickness of 15 cm;
• lack of regulatory protection in relation to biodiversity (natural reserve, sensitive natural space, prefectural order protecting biotope or geotope, protection forest...);
• minimum area of 50 m² and maximum surface area of 20.000 m². Public spaces with an area of more than 20.000 m² are eligible to the extent that the location commune is very small in green spaces or has only one public green space.
