Fête de la Nature

The nationwide environmental initiative to engage citizens of all ages with their local environment will take place from Wednesday 19th to Sunday 23rd May.

The annual Fête de la Nature is now into its 15th year, and the theme for 2021 will be “through a thousand and one perspectives”.

Ecosystems and species showcase incredible adaptation strategies and survival mechanisms in this rapidly changing environment.

They play a significant role in energy, food and climate regulation, not to mention providing solutions to many of man’s daily obstacles.

Economically, physically and psychologically, nature deserves our attention, and respect!
