This very large area created over 13,5 hectares at the edge of the sea, shows us an exuberant and healthy nature, respected and protective of its inhabitants. Some people say that this kind of area, almost perfect, seems to show to humans their failure, their incapacity to preserve vital assets, their incompetence to protect the environment. Yes, it is true. By seeing this park, it is normal to think it would be wonderful to find again these landscapes in their original countries. Unfortunately, numerous species are in decline, some of them are endangered, others are already extinct. Why? The question is useful, but the answers are always the same!
If natural disasters are of course to be taken into account in the species’ disappearance, we must not forget the other reasons. Heavy deforestation for agriculture, drainage of wetlands, human developments, urbanization, disturbances at nesting sites by noisy and destructive aerial, aquatic or terrestrial activities, persecution of some species, varied pollutions... The result is not too good, and improvements are long in coming. So, animals are disappearing, through lack of appropriate habitat, healthy food, and space obviously.

I only wish to present here some wonderful species which are endangered in their native range, and others which are uncommon for most of humans in the world!

Enjoy your visit!
