Aubrac’s Regional Nature Reserve
Aubrac is a rural area of medium mountain extended to three departments (Aveyron , Cantal, Lozère) with a rich and diversified heritage (architecture, landscape , fauna, flora ), still well preserved.
Its rural economy, environment, cultural heritage and know-how remain nonetheless vulnerable and threatened. In order to preserve this exceptional region, the State and local authorities have decided to create a Regional Nature Reserve on Aubrac .
Launched in 2007, the project is expected to end in 2018 with the certification of Aubrac as a “Regional Natural Park “.
