Jardin de la Lamproie

Jardin de la Lamproie is an initiative focused on understanding and protecting aquatic ecosystems and the biodiversity of wetlands in the Dordogne Valley. Based in Sainte-Terre, Gironde, an area associated with the marine lamprey, it presents the region’s natural heritage and the ecological importance of migratory fish. Its observatory encourages visitors, researchers, and nature enthusiasts to explore riverbank habitats through educational routes and direct observation.

The initiative shares studies, expert resources, and practical guides on wetland management, sustainable landscaping, and wildlife conservation. Topics include protecting riverbanks, reducing pesticide runoff, collecting rainwater responsibly, adapting gardens to drought, and supporting birds and pollinators. Its conservation focus also includes ecological continuity: restoring spawning grounds, addressing physical barriers, and supporting fish passages to help migratory species move through waterways.

Jardin de la Lamproie connects biodiversity protection with the resilience of local landscapes and responsible use of natural resources. It also discusses approaches such as solar energy within a broader commitment to minimizing environmental impact.
