Biodiversity
— Hotel Le Pradey —
Biodiversity is the living fabric of the planet.
In the densely populated and highly urbanized city of Paris, the presence of nature enhances the quality of life and the health of its residents.
Therefore, preserving biodiversity in Paris is a major concern and will be even more so in the future.
The city is committed to this cause by creating biodiversity spaces, developing an action plan for nesting birds in Paris, and implementing green streets in all districts.
How can you participate?
Respect natural spaces: in parks, gardens, and natural areas in Paris, stay on designated paths, avoid picking plants, refrain from feeding wildlife, and avoid disturbing their habitats.
Manage waste responsibly: remember to dispose of your waste in appropriate bins and recycle whenever possible.
Here are some biodiversity-related activities to explore Paris and the Île-de-France region:
