A sponsor speaks

Sabrina Thétis, sponsor of the Groupe Associatif Estuaire (GAE): launch of a bumblebee observatory.

"These insects render an absolutely indispensable service to nature and to man: they are pollinators. Without them, many plant species could not reproduce. It so happens that today, between sincere concerns and a lack of accurate data, we do not know how to quantify the impact of human activities on the bumblebee populations. By launching a study of this type, the idea is not "simply" to protect nature because it is beautiful, but because it provides genuine services."
