Why focus on biodiversity conservation?
In France, tourism infrastructure is largely concentrated along the coast and in the mountains. These areas are home to a rich and fragile biodiversity that cannot withstand the environmental pressures caused by fluctuations in visitor numbers: trampling on hiking trails, marine pollution, water stress, the effects of global warming, etc. At the same time, high tourist density can also contribute to increasing land development.
