France’s wildlife is in crisis, but the few species that receive real protection show that long-term, well-funded action can reverse the trend, says the World Wildlife Fund France's annual biodiversity report. The challenge is not a lack of solutions, but a lack of commitment.
The report warns of a collapse in biodiversity in the country due to the degradation of natural habitats, yet it says the outcome “is not inevitable”, as protective measures have been shown to be effective in restoring wildlife in remarkable and measurable ways.
