It was a wonderful surprise to meet a small otter during an afternoon spent “Swimming in the river“
The presence of this otter in the rivers of the Cevennes is a positive indicator of the health of these aquatic ecosystems and bears witness to the ongoing efforts to protect biodiversity in this region
The Cevennes, with its National Park, offers a protected environment favourable to its reappearance
Otters, once endangered due to river pollution and hunting, have seen their populations increase thanks to conservation efforts and improvements in water quality

Summer happiness
Specific conservation measures have been put in place to preserve its habitat, such as restoring riverbanks, reducing water pollution and raising public awareness of the importance of this animal in the ecosystem
Youpiii 😀
