Singing birds
Trials of the Century - season 4
Moderator: Anne-Cécile Bras
With Sébastien Blache, farmer and naturalist and Frédéric Jiguet, ornithologist and biologist
With the participation of Françoise Dallemagne, in charge of research and collections at Mucem.
Among common species, nearly 17% of birds in France have disappeared since 2001. Is this a sign of the collapse of ecosystems and the food chain? Are we heading for widespread environmental impoverishment?
Between industrial agriculture, landscape standardization, urbanization and global warming, solutions exist to protect this crucial part of biodiversity. Associations and enthusiasts are mobilizing to make birdsong heard again.

He spent 18 years with the Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux (LPO) before taking over the farm that had belonged to his breeder grandfather, Ferme du Grand laval (26), 11 ha of cereal monoculture. Sébastien took on this small organic farm with the idea of fully integrating wildlife and showing that it is possible to feed a population without destroying the diversity of living things.
