The National Park has a strong vision for nature and the future of the region. This vision is broken down into 10 ambitious goals. It is supported by 80 partner organisations and opens up to its citizens and local actors.

By giving more space to nature, in our territory and in our lifestyles, we are fostering connections that create a more resilient and united territory, for the benefit of both biodiversity and human beings.
