Why we love it?
At a time when our CO2 emissions are still far too high, and over 90% of France's forests are used for timber production, Etats Sauvages has set itself the mission of buying up forests in order to leave them to evolve in peace, and thus preserve as much biodiversity as possible.
The project
BiodiversityClimate
ETATS SAUVAGES works to preserve the biodiversity of French forests. The association acquires forests that are then left to evolve freely, creating true refuges for living things, and involves citizens in their protection.

Solution
Through the Forêt Sauvage project, the association is committed to the preservation of living things by purchasing hectares of forest: a valuable commitment to combat the erosion of biodiversity. Based on free evolution, ETATS SAUVAGES aims to create more forest reserves across the country, providing refuge areas to protect particularly vulnerable species and enable them to adapt to climate change.

Focus on the free evolution of forests by France 3 Bretagne
"We create spaces where man no longer intervenes". They buy forests to return them to a wild state.
The action of the association ETATS SAUVAGES in the spotlight in an article by France 3 Bretagne. We are acting collectively to restore the living in our woods 🌳 and your support helps us to multiply our impact on the ground tenfold by giving us concrete backing.
👉 The article is to be discovered (and shared without moderation) in the March 9 edition.
👀 2023 is behind us, long live 2024! 🙌
More than ever, the heart of ETATS SAUVAGES' mission is to act and raise awareness for the biodiversity of French forests 🌳 🦉 🦊 🕷 🦔 🍄 And it's much needed in light of the many threats impacting it more and more every day.
💪 Determined, our volunteer team is mobilized to reinforce its impact on all fronts. In just a few figures, here's a look back at our fourth year of activity:
📌 100 Blog articles, 78 workshops and field trips and 17 webinars have been produced since 2019.
📌 50, that's the number of volunteers who have been involved in communicating, managing, developing and raising awareness. They were backed by the support of our 141 members.
📌 14.5 ha of freely evolving forests, that's the area we now protect in Cantal, Vosges, Normandy and Ile-de-France. Four reserves for biodiversity that have come into being thanks to our donors and patrons.
🙏 Finally, a big thank you to all our captains and the Captain Cause team who have provided very concrete support for our actions 👉 We're starting the year with energy and enthusiasm to take on new challenges. Are you with us? 😎

The money will be used for
The funds raised will enable the acquisition of new forests. The project will be pro rata to the funding: more funds raised means more area preserved!

The best way to preserve life is to do nothing... and it's much cheaper than trying to recreate what we've destroyed.
