The ONCFS/FNC/FDC/FDC “Partridge-Faisan” network is result of the gradual extension of the national grey partridge network to red-legged partridge (1988) and then to common pheasant (2000).
Its main objective is to provide managers of these species with an optimal technical environment by: the development of reliable monitoring tools, the centralization and in-depth analysis of local data collected for population management, allowing the study of population dynamics and its spatial and temporal variations, monitoring and analysis of the evolution of populations and their habitats in France.
The network currently operates mainly in the north-central part of France (except for occasional national surveys). An extension to the entire national territory is planned.
