La Passerelle Conservation

The Parc Animalier d'Auvergne, alongside international rugby player Julien Pierre, created the Passerelle Conservation in 2013 to protect endangered species in the wild. In 2015, the association became an endowment fund, a structure that takes action for the common good.

Julien Pierre
international rugby player, co-founder of The Passerelle
The Passerelle's mission is to invest in useful, concrete and effective actions for endangered species in Auvergne and around the world. We act for the preservation of ecosystems and biodiversity but also to improve our shared life with animals. 
Our philosophy is to reconcile environmental protection with human activities.

The Passerelle Conservation supports conservation projects around the world, including gibbons in Laos (Project Anoulak), snow leopards in Mongolia (Snow Leopard Trust) and red pandas in Nepal (Red Panda Network). But its actions also extend to endangered species in Auvergne. For this, the Passerelle Conservation works with several naturalist associations taking action directly in the field, like the Auvergne Conservatory of Natural Spaces and Chauve-Souris Auvergne, an association protecting local bats.

2 approaches to our commitment

In Auvergne

81 species of mammals, 187 species of nesting birds, and 15 species of reptiles live together in Auvergne. However, this exceptional wildlife is in danger. Today, 1/4 of mammals, 2 species of reptiles and 50% of birds are endangered!

We cannot remain mere spectators, concrete actions must be taken to participate in their conservation. The time to act is now. We use your donations to work together with local naturalist associations.

Around the world

The Passerelle Conservation aims to build on the work of the Parc Animalier d’Auvergne. The park is committed to the protection of endangered species through its participation in the reproduction and breeding of endangered animals that are a part of European Endangered Species Programmes (EEP).

Through donations such as the sponsorship programme, the Passerelle Conservation can provide financial support to programmes that protect the endangered species of the park directly in the wild. All these programmes strive to protect natural habitats by raising awareness and working with local populations.

At the heart of the Passerelle Conservation is taking action so that animals and humans can live together in harmony. And it up to us to take these steps.
