Summary

Contrary to certain perceived ideas, man has not destroyed the biological diversity in Metropolitan France but has transformed and enriched it. Deforestation, agriculture, developments of water courses and wetlands and introductions of species have created artificial environments, managed for our varied uses. Up to what point can we control the dynamics of this nature, subject to a variety of constraints such as new agricultural practices, urbanisation and global warming? Is not the biodiversity governed as much by the expectation of citizens as by scientific ecology?

J'ai commencé ce livre et à quelques dizaines de pages, j'ai décidé d'en recommencer la lecture...en prenant des notes. Christian Lévêque bouscule sans ménagement les concepts trop formatés autour de la biodiversité. De nombreuses vérités illustrées d'exemples et appuyées par des nombreuses références éclatent sur cette nature idéalement sauvage mais pourtant sécurisée et aménagée, devenant une "co-production entre ce qui est spontané et les humains". La biodiversité n'est pas à mettre sous cloche, elle a besoin d'être accompagnée ! Un livre essentiel et salvateur.
