Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation wishes to enable the smooth running of human activities while promoting the development of biodiversity. It has supported many projects in different countries on this theme.
This problem of coexistence also arises in the South – PACA region which, due to its geographical and climatic specificities, presents a great diversity of environments and species.
This wealth of wildlife in a territory with numerous human activities involves various interactions.
The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and its partners; the National Council for the Protection of Nature, the Chamber of Agriculture of the Alpes-Maritimes, the Federation of Hunters of the Alpes-Maritimes and the League for the Protection of Birds Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur; launched on September 15, 2022, a call for projects to improve the relationship between human activities and wildlife in the South region – PACA.
