La Tour de Valat offers to adopt… a pink flamingo

#CAMARGUE You are missing a Christmas present ? Why not offer a pink flamingo ? La Tour de Valat, a research institute for the conservation of Mediterranean wetlands, is offering to adopt one of the emblematic birds of the Camargue. Three plans are offered, at €25, €50 or €100 per year.

In exchange, in addition to a sponsorship certificate and a subscription to the flamingo gazette, the sponsor receives an email alert each time the animal is observed. The highest formula also allows participation in a day in the Camargue, or even to participate in the flamingo ringing operation.

This action (which gives the right to a tax write-up) contributes to the protection and monitoring of the species by financing the actions of the Tour de Valat and allows the acquisition of equipment for ornithologists who observe them all around the Mediterranean. Since the beginning of this operation, more than 3,500 pink flamingos have been adopted.

Calendar competition: vote for the Marvejols firefighters

To support the Marvejols firefighters, simply vote for them in the story of the Sapeurs pompiers de France Instagram page.

#GARD This is the height, in meters, of the fall suffered by a 41-year-old man from Gard, on Monday, while he was walking in the town of Montfrin, north of Nîmes. While he was walking along Rue du Temple, he fell, with his pet, to the bottom of a well.

Quickly notified, the firefighters still took 2 hours and 30 minutes to get the unfortunate man out of his trap. The intervention was delicate. Found in a state of hypothermia, the man was transported to the Nîmes University Hospital.
