“A future for

nature »

Even though the creation of the Réserve Zoologique de Calviac was the work of one person, the project could not have continued or developed without the deep involvement of the salaried team, the members of the Calviac Biodiversity Institute, the volunteers, the support of the local authorities as well as the visitors, who are more numerous each year.

The transformation, in 2015, into Collective Interest Cooperative Society (SCIC) is the logical next step to develop this ambitious project of general interest and for a purpose non-profit.
