On the occasion of the title of Grenoble European Green Capital 2022, the Bastille is elected Totem place of this year and the R\u00e9gie du T\u00e9l\u00e9ph\u00e9rique is more committed than ever! <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

“To give back its place to nature, in the heart of the city and around the city, for the benefit of the fauna, the flora, their interactions and the functionalities of the soil. \u00bb <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bastille hill offers a rich and preserved natural heritage. Reasoned mowing and mowing, the small mountain is preserved but still wild. The R\u00e9gie du T\u00e9l\u00e9ph\u00e9rique has focused on the essential points of nature and biodiversity with its partners in recent years.<\/p>\n

The Bastille is classified as an area of ecological, floristic and faunal interest as part of the inventory of remarkable natural sites.<\/p>\n

Fauna:<\/strong> On the Bastille, there is life! “In this oasis in the middle of the conurbation, wildlife still finds favorable places for nesting, hunting and wintering” (source: Livre de la Bastille de Grenoble et son T\u00e9l\u00e9ph\u00e9rique). As the seasons go by, the animals find refuge in the Bastille. The diversity of the site’s environments (hillsides, dry meadows, escarpments and cliffs) is home to insects (praying mantis, butterfly, etc.), birds (Eurasian eagle-owl, shrike, etc.) and mammals (European hare , foxes, hedgehogs, etc.). You have to be very discreet to approach them.<\/p>\n

The pond of the Bastille:<\/strong> The agents of the city of Grenoble and the LPO (League for the Protection of Birds) dug and modeled the edges then the animal species come naturally to colonize the environment. A new pond was designed in May 2021 in order to accommodate two other endangered species: the palmate newt and the alpine newt. The ecosystem plays an essential role in the ecological network, it is for this purpose that a “Green and Blue contract” has been set up by the metropolis of Grenoble in partnership with the Auvergne Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes Region, which is committed to the “Pond Restoration Plan”. In fact, ponds promote biodiversity and they serve as refuges for many endangered species such as amphibians, but also serve as a place for regulating and purifying water.<\/p>\n
