Biodiversity in agricultural areas is under pressure. Many species are in need of biodiversity promotion areas as well as other targeted measures adapted to their needs. Recognising the need for action, the canton of Vaud has tasked us with putting a new mechanism in place to respond to these challenges, centring on avifauna.

Many of our projects are carried out from our regional offices in Valais (Sion), Ticino (Contone), Grisons (Chur), Northeastern Switzerland (Schaffhausen) and Western Switzerland (Yverdon-les-Bains). Together with partners and volunteers, they take care of habitat improvement projects and impact monitoring, as well as applied research issues on a case-by-case basis.
