00:00While 80% of the humid areas of France have seen their surface decrease in 10 years,
00:20the Marais of Saint-Omer is ready to revive its precious ecosystems.
00:24We are on the Marais Audomarois, on the commune of Saint-Omer.
00:29These are the great humid areas of the region of the Hauts-de-France.
00:35In the 1970s, it was used to agriculture, especially in the maraîchage.
00:40And in the 1980s, we had a conversion of the terrains, which is rather a vocation of leisure.
00:46Since 2005-2008, the Littoral Conservatoire intervient on these terrains
00:50by buying to the Amiable parcells
00:52and they program the projects of revalorisation ecological and countryside.
00:59The goal is to disartificialization.
01:01To find the nature on these areas that have been occupied.
01:05To find a space that will be accueillable for biodiversity, for birds, for birds.
01:10It is also because the site is a great rich ecologist in the region
01:16that the French Biodiversity Office, via the mission Nature,
01:19has financed in large part of these projects
01:21since it covers 80% of the expenses.
01:23It is an atypical job, it is wonderful, it is incredible.
01:27And technically, it is also a promise.
01:30Retirer all the gravels, the waste, by water, it is a challenge.
