On June 7, 2018 at the Maison des Océans in Paris, Nicolas Maslach, director of the Réserve Naturelle, participated in a French Nature Conference, organized by the French committee of the UICN (International Union For Conservation of Nature), as part of its 25th anniversary celebration. The UICN is the leading worldwide non-governmental organization dedicated to the conservation of nature. The next World Conversation Congress, which is held every four years, will be held in 2020 in Marseille. The main subjects to be presented in Marseille in 2020 were discussed with the participants. At the same time, Jean-François Sylvain, president of the Foundation For Biodiversity Research (FRB) made a presentation on the state of biodiversity around the world, which is subject to more and more pressure, which has led scientific experts to make dramatic predictions. He urged everyone to promote environmental protection and sustainable use of their biodiversity as a strategic, political, and economic priority. He also voiced an optimistic note about France, where public opinion, the business sector, and certain politicians are already thinking in this manner.
