Conservation project
La Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux (French Bird Protection League) has set up a network of no-hunting sanctuaries throughout France. LPO is also battling French hunters to prevent an extension of the shooting season into the spring.
This was the origin of the 'Refuges LPO' idea. In recent years, the focus has been more on encouraging management for wildlife on land in private ownership - what in the UK we might call making a back garden nature reserve.
