Exposition

 

L'Envol des Géants is the result of a report on the four species of vultures present in France: Griffon Vulture, Cinereous Vulture, Bearded Vulture and Egyptian Percnoptera. The idea was born from a simple concept; many people do not know that there are vultures in France. Symbol of bad omen, long persecuted, vultures today suffer from disinformation. Because it is necessary, above all, to know in order to have the desire to protect, L'Envol des Géants is there to sensitize a large public, if only to their presence in France. But also to their exciting history, their way of life and the bonds they have with each other and with Human. Thus, raising awareness is about tackling the source of the problem. This series of photographs magnifies these birds that few carry in their hearts and yet so important in our ecosystems.
