    • Abstract:
      The Guadeloupe National Park, created in 1989 and modified in 2006, has become a central player in the protection of the archipelago's biodiversity. Half of the visitors who come to Guadeloupe visit the major sites of the park. A great diversity of terrestrial, aquatic and marine habitats characterizes the hearts of the park. Geology, climate, history, as well as human intervention, have shaped landscapes and original biodiversity, today subject to various localized or global threats. Through its missions, the national park intervenes on knowledge, on management measures for the conservation of biodiversity, ecological restoration actions and a special effort of pedagogy and awareness of environmental issues. Its new challenge is to successfully mobilize the actors of the membership area and the adjacent maritime area around the concept of ecological solidarity and thus consolidate the conservation of the biodiversity of hearts.

      Le parc national de la Guadeloupe, créé en 1989 et modifié en 2006, est devenu un acteur central de la protection de la biodiversité de l'archipel. La moitié des visiteurs qui viennent en Guadeloupe parcourt les grands sites du parc. Une grande diversité d'habitats terrestres, aquatiques et marins caractérise les cœurs du parc. La géologie, le climat, l'histoire, comme l'intervention de l'homme ont façonné des paysages et une biodiversité originale, aujourd'hui soumis à diverses menaces localisées ou globales. Au travers de ses missions, le parc national intervient sur la connaissance, sur des mesures de gestion en faveur de la conservation de la biodiversité, des actions de restauration écologique, en mettant l'accent sur la pédagogie et la sensibilisation aux enjeux environnementaux. Son nouveau défi est de réussir à mobiliser les acteurs de l'aire d'adhésion et de l'aire maritime adjacente autour du concept de solidarité écologique et ainsi de consolider la conservation de la biodiversité des cœurs.
