ACT FOR THE OUTDOOR SUPPORT ACTIONS

• "Take your shoes and rake"
  The project consists of training trail runners on the impacts of their running on the natural areas they cross. It also gives them the opportunity to participate concretely in the preservation of these areas. In order to meet these 2 objectives, the project includes a digital module (Mooc) and the organization of participative workcamps, allowing to restore and maintain grounds for their ecological stakes.

• "La montagne prend ses quartiers"
  The project aims at the inclusion of young people from the districts of the Arve Valley through a programme of mountain practice and professional orientation. Taking young people out of their comfort zone, introducing them to the mountain environment, raising awareness of the effects of climate change on the mountains; these are the main objectives of this project. The programme of activities will be staggered and will allow the young people to move from one level to another: firstly, within the neighbourhoods, then via day trips, and finally, a two-day adventure in the high mountains to access the mountain environment and climb a summit!

• "Let's share the sky between birds of prey and paragliders"
  There are many interactions between birds of prey and paragliders. Sometimes, in specific places and at specific times of the year, they can be detrimental to rock raptors (Golden Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Bearded Vulture), especially during the nesting period. The aim of the project is to list these sensitive areas and then to build a tool that can be used by paragliders to warn them in case of disturbance. Thus, avoid flying over these areas and transform these sensitive areas into
  " bubble of tranquility ".

If you are sensitive to the preservation of natural areas and the sustainable development of outdoor activities, then make a gesture.
