2024 REPORT
AIMS OF THE PROJECT:
TO RENATURE THE FOREST MASSIF TO FOSTER A MORE NATURAL, WILDER FOREST, RESTORING ITS BASIC
BIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS AND IMPROVING NATURE CONSERVATION.
TO REAWAKEN OUR CONNECTION WITH THE FOREST BY DEVELOPING LOW-IMPACT TOURISM COMPATIBLE
WITH THE FOREST ECOSYSTEM.
TO USE FOREST RESOURCES SUSTAINABLY BY MAXIMISING THEIR QUALITY, DEVELOPING A LOCAL PROCESSING
SECTOR AND ANCHORING THEM WITHIN A CIRCULAR ECONOMY.
THE RESULTS OBTAINED:
IN 2024, MORE THAN 4,000 TREES WERE PLANTED TO RESTORE FOREST ECOSYSTEMS, WHILE
AQUATIC HABITATS WERE ENHANCED BY THE CREATION AND RELOCATION OF PONDS.
THE PROJECT’S SCIENTIFIC DIMENSION WAS ALSO EXPANDED: A THESIS ON ECOLOGICAL
CONNECTIVITY ANALYSED THE IMPACT OF THE N89 (A FOUR-LANE HIGHWAY) ON WILDLIFE
USING TELEMETRY AND CAMERA TRAPS. IN COLLABORATION WITH THE LUXEMBOURG INSTITUTE
OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, NASSONIA ALSO TRIALLED THE NEWTCAM, AN INNOVATIVE
AQUATIC CAMERA TRAP THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE TO CAPTURE NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN IMAGES OF
AMPHIBIANS AND INVERTEBRATES.
IN TERMS OF EDUCATION, NEW INTERPRETATION BOARDS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AT THE
FOURNEAU SAINT-MICHEL SO THAT VISITORS CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL
ISSUES.
