News from the field

On the beaches of Charente-Maritime, a discreet bird races against time every spring to make it chicks hatch hidden from view... and the footsteps of walkers. The Kentish Plover, a small coastal wader weighing barely 45g, lays its eggs directly on the sand.

In order to encourage the establishment of bats within the park and thus contribute to their protection, we have installed a dozen nesting boxes in specific locations.

Since last year, Palmyre Conservation has been supporting the work of the Association SEPANGUY who seeks to better understand the giant otter population of the Pripris, a large wetland located in northwestern French Guiana.

The location where Helpsimus has been developing its conservation activities in Madagascar is home to an exceptional flora and fauna: five species of lemurs several of which being exclusively nocturnal, small carnivores (ring-tailed mongooses, rodents), various species of birds (Madagascar long-eared owl, blue coua...), amphibians, reptiles (snakes, geckos...).

"During my mission in Madagascar, I was asked to join the first two outdoor learning classes organized at the Simus School by Helpsimus."
