𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘇-𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀? The Escaut Valley, with its marshes and wetlands, has been home to unique biodiversity. But human efforts to drain these areas, coupled with mining subsidence in the 18th century, have transformed the landscape and created new habitats favorable to waterbirds. ✨ 𝗔̀ 𝗱𝗲́𝗰𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗿𝗶𝗿: The history of wetlands and human interventions. The evolution of bird populations, true markers of the quality of natural environments. A projection of beautiful images for a journey to the heart of local biodiversity. 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲́𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗲.
