Founded in 1998, the Noé association was born from the observation that human societies have gradually distanced themselves from nature. Its ambition is now to promote their coexistence. "The idea is to ensure that we protect and restore biodiversity in connection with humans, without removing humans from the equation," explains Aurélie Jambon.
To achieve this, Noé works on the fronts of agroecology, the renaturation of urban spaces, citizen mobilization, and support for territories. The association notably develops participatory science programs to enable citizens to better understand biodiversity because, for them, this reconnection is essential to grasp environmental issues and act on their scale.
Noé also supports businesses, local authorities, and individuals in implementing practices that are favorable to biodiversity, whether in urban planning, gardens, or agricultural production.
Despite a sometimes concerning context, Aurélie Jambon remains optimistic. "By working at the local level, hope is really there." According to her, grassroots initiatives are already producing concrete results. "Biodiversity is resilient when we give it space," she concludes, convinced that the actions taken today can still reverse the trend.
