Réserve biologique des monts d'azur, Wildlife reserve in Andon, France
The 700-hectare reserve encompasses diverse natural environments, including rocky cliffs, grassy plains, and woodlands that support numerous European animal species.
Dr. Patrice Longour established the Réserve biologique des monts d'Azur in 2006 after purchasing the Haut-Thorenc domain in 2003 to restore historical fauna.
The reserve conducts educational programs about wildlife conservation, focusing on the protection of European species such as bison and Przewalski's horses.
The reserve operates from Wednesday to Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, and weekends from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering walking safaris and wagon tours.
The reserve maintains a population of fifty European bison and thirty-five Przewalski's horses, contributing to the preservation of these endangered species.
