Angers towards a "biodivercity" statute

Biodiversity in 2010

Angers Loire Métropole will soon attempt to demonstrate that the "quality of life" it promotes in France and abroad to attract companies and job is not only a slogan, but a reality. Its president and deputy-president, Jean-Claude Antonini and Gilles Mahé, will officialy launch the "Agenda 21 of bio-diversity of Angers Loire Métropole" at Le Grand Theâtre, on November 24th. The Agenda 21 is one of the components of the 2015 Agglomeration project, drawn up in 2003, almost ten years ago, when local economy was in better conditions than now.

Biodiversity in 2011

No less than forty actions were planned in different fields : economy, building and transport, citizenship, ecology and energy. Regarding biodiversity, Angers had in 2012 implemented awareness campaign regarding the necessity of wildlife protection and one year later a trail displaying all the animals colonizing the Angers urban jungle.

The programme regarding the launch of what be done in 2013 looks unclear but it could concern all the actions aiming at the preservation of the natural assets of the Angers region : the landscapes, the rivers and the flora around. That seems a little bit vague but Angers representatives hope that these may make Angers more attractive for employers and employees in the years to come. But would it be sufficient?
