A natural heritage observatory for the Loire basin

The aim of Loire nature watch (the Observatoire de la Loire) is to count animal populations and to gather and analyse the data collected.  It will mean that the evolution of the natural heritage can be monitored, so that the impact of planning and management policies on the area can be evaluated. At the end, a thorough knowledge of all of the wetland zones of the Loire basin will have been established. A catalogue of currently available data sources concerning the basin will be created and made available to everyone.
