La Balane crustacé Phoque moine Etoile de mer rouge
Var department mix sea, islands, mountains, wood and scrublands. More than 400 km of coast, 600 km of stream, 400 000 hectares of wooded spaces, 3 000 sorts of plants, 350 sorts of birds, a big transparency of the atmosphere, 300 days of sun a year. Let us change our collective and individual behavior to protect our department.

Beaches erosion:
no 4x4, quads, competitions, no sand taking

Grounds cleanliness
:
collect fragments, glass, cigarettes, plastics
Deterioration of the vegetation
Don’t walk off the footpath, avoid to trample on it

Path in bloom and protected species of plants

avoid picking the flowers
50 years to grow a tree, a few seconds to destroy it

do not smoke, do not start a fire, do not camp
Nature always welcoming

do not litter
Plastic bags: each year 2 000 000 birds
and 100 000 marine mammals,
trapped and suffocated
Peacefulness of the wildlife
keep your dog on a leash; don’t ride your motorcycle or 4x4
