In addition to its involvement in the ESB and EEP (to learn more about these organizations), the Auvergne Animal Park wants to go even further in its commitment to preserving biodiversity by taking concrete steps on a daily basis.
Two types of commitments:
1. Taking action to save species in our region: Auvergne
We know that there are already actions underway to save species in our area, and we want to participate in these activities. That’s why we are sponsoring, and accompanying, some associations’ projects that help biodiversity.
First, we are lucky enough to welcome two bat colonies to the park: The Lesser Horseshoe Bats and, especially, the Greater Mouse-Eared Bats. The latter species is very rare and is included in the vulnerable category of threatened species (IUCN). We want to take action and protect this species.
Secondly, we are also lucky enough to be able to welcome Red Kite birds into the sky above the Auvergne Animal Park. This species, which lives near the Park, is also on the red list of threatened species in France in the category, « VULNERABLE. » We don’t want to be simple spectators but want to take concrete action and participate in their conservation.
2. Construct a link between our animals, and species in their natural habitat
During your visit, we underline the necessity of protecting species from around the world in the name of biodiversity. We consider the animals in the Auvergne Animal Park to be representatives of their wild cousins. We want to take action in their original habitat.
We are dedicated to helping local groups to preserve wild fauna. To do so, we are establishing relationships with local associations and we are financing programs that help these species.
Acting as a link, we want to ensure that animals and men can truly live together without damaging each other. It’s our responsiblity to act in order to accomplish this.
