Today, more than ever, biodiversity is at the heart of our efforts. Municipalities are committed to preserving local ecosystems. Through initiatives such as the creation of protected green spaces, improved water management, and the development of green spaces within urban areas, our certified municipalities actively contribute to the richness of our natural heritage.
On this World Biodiversity Day, we’re shining a spotlight on the town of La Roche-sur-Yon, which has been recognized for its efforts to conserve local flora and fauna. Through sustainable management practices and environmental education, La Roche-sur-Yon perfectly embodies the spirit of Villes et Villages Fleuris label.
With 40,000 trees, 500 hectares of wooded areas, and 100,000 plants produced in municipal greenhouses each year, La Roche-sur-Yon has made biodiversity a central focus of its municipal initiative.
