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 supporting territories. The association notably develops citizen science programs to help people better understand biodiversity because, for the association, this reconnection is essential to grasp environmental issues and act, each at their own level.
Noé also supports businesses, local authorities, and individuals in implementing practices that are favorable to biodiversity, whether it involves urban planning, gardens, or agricultural production.
Despite a sometimes concerning context, Aurélie Jambon remains optimistic. "By working at the local level, hope is truly there." According to her, grassroots initiatives are already producing tangible results. "Biodiversity is resilient when we give it space," she concludes, convinced that the actions taken today can still reverse the trend.
