At a time when our planet is under strain, ecotourism, grounded in a sustainable and environmentally responsible approach, should become a benchmark for travelers seeking to reduce their environmental impact. The remarkable ecosystem of the Verdon Gorges, still weakened by the recent summer drought, deserves the utmost care. Here is why – and how – to preserve the natural areas, heritage, and resources of this much-loved region during your stay at our Verdon Gorges campsite.
Every summer, thousands of visitors choose the
Verdon Gorges as their holiday destination. This leads to heavy pressure on Lake Sainte-Croix as well as on the many spectacular natural sites throughout the Verdon.
The region’s ecosystem, a victim of its own success, is threatened by ever-increasing visitor numbers and by some less respectful tourists. Added to this is climate change, which further destabilizes ecosystems that are home to rich flora and fauna, sometimes putting rare species found in the area at risk.
The Regional Observatory for Biodiversity, along with numerous associations, regularly takes action to protect the iconic gorges and the Verdon Regional Natural Park. Their shared goal is to promote ecotourism – a greener form of tourism – and to foster a harmonious relationship between visitors, the natural environment, and local communities.
To preserve the beauty of the landscapes and the region’s biodiversity, everyone must strive to limit their environmental impact and travel responsibly.
Finally, remember that the Verdon is magnificent in every season. Try to travel outside the summer months to avoid putting excessive pressure on nature. So that future generations can continue to enjoy the Verdon Canyon as we do today, give meaning to your holidays. Take part in the collective effort, become responsible e-tourists, and share these guidelines for the Verdon and other regions.
