Two events to highlight the Crau Plain Grasshopper

Camargue FestivalFor 5 days, from 25 to 30 May, the 14th edition of the Camargue and Rhone Delta Festival took place, which promotes local initiatives around the environment by offering outings, exhibitions, conferences, shows and other workshops…On this occasion, the LIFE SOS Crau grasshopper project was given pride of place, in order to initiate work to raise the awareness of local populations about this species and its environment. The “immersion” module, usually in residence at the Crau Ecomuseum, which offers an augmented reality experience on the functioning and biodiversity of wetlands, was also present.More than 400 people visited the stand, and there were many questions and curiosity among the public!
