French Environmental Group Unveils Bold 2025 Conservation Plans
France’s Terre en vert, a local environmental protection association, is gearing up for a busy 2025, building on a successful 2024. “The year 2024 was overflowing with ideas and actions for the local environmental protection association Terre en vert,” recalled President Sylvie Braud at the group’s December 19th general assembly. the addition of new members to the team signals a diverse and ambitious program for the coming year.
Popular workshops, described by Braud as “usual and brilliant,” will continue, relying on the expertise of dedicated volunteers. Though, 2025 will see a significant expansion of initiatives. Bat conservation is a key focus, with plans to build specialized roosts. The group is also considering partnering with the Natural History Museum to monitor the Mauretania taranta,a nocturnal lizard. Protecting viper snakes and the knucklehead lizard will also be high priorities.
Expanding Conservation Efforts
Pond biodiversity will be a major area of study,with projects planned at both the Molière Montessori school and the Paleyrac educational farm. Entomologist Christian Foin will continue his research on ants and crayfish, promising further discoveries. The group also plans new orchid excursions and a comprehensive inventory of local flowering plants. Additional activities will be added throughout the year based on emerging opportunities.
A January meeting will finalize the 2025 program, incorporating traditional events like seasonal plant swaps. Volunteers will be crucial in carrying out various projects, including olive tree planting in Capdrot and orchard progress, continuing work begun in 2024. Beekeeping remains a cornerstone of Terre en vert’s mission, extending to the broader protection of all hymenoptera – bees, wasps, and hornets.
