Etats Sauvages takes action and raises awareness to preserve the biodiversity of France’s forests. The organization acquires forests, which it then allows to evolve naturally, creating true sanctuaries for wildlife, and involves citizens in their protection.

Solution

Etats Sauvages takes action and raises awareness to preserve the biodiversity of French forests. Through its work, the organization is committed to protecting wildlife by purchasing forests that are then left to evolve naturally. In this way, it helps create refuges for numerous animal, plant, and fungal species.

To mobilize and engage citizens in its efforts, Etats Sauvages guides them on a journey of discovery through the ecosystem to turn them into true Allies of the Forests.

Etats Sauvages has already acquired more than 38 hectares of forests in the Cantal, the Vosges, the Hérault, Normandy, and the Île-de-France region. These forests have enabled the creation of biodiversity reserves and are now left to evolve naturally.
