Unlike a nature reserve, a protected area where human activities are strictly regulated, the Gaume Nature Park adopts an integrated approach to developing its rural territory and serves as a laboratory for implementing sustainable development. The Gaume Nature Park initiates and supports the development of projects focused on: local rural dynamism, innovation and experimentation, and sustainable development. (Parc Naturel de Gaume)
