The protected areas of the Grands Causses
Beyond their apparent ruggedness, the Grand Causses are teeming with life, and mysterious nature has given birth to sometimes well-hidden feats. These territories are now protected, so that we can bequeath their beauty to future generations.
A Parc Régional Naturel des Grands Causses was created in 1995, straddling the departments of Lozère and Aveyron. Areas of high ecological interest have also been designated Natura 2000. Last but not least, the area is aUNESCO World Heritage Site, a cultural landscape of Mediterranean agropastoralism.
