The “Fête de la Nature”,  is open to all: an opportunity to discover or rediscover the hidden wealth of biodiversity in France and share a desire to protect and celebrate it.
The Fête de la Nature will enable everybody in France to experience an exceptional weekend in the heart of natural sites which are outstanding or simply everyday, in the company of professionals and volunteers whose job and passion is protecting, managing and enhancing nature and ensuring its ongoing diversity. The aim of this event is to enable the population to reforge strong ties with nature and acquire (or recover) the pleasure it brings us. Wonder gives rise to a desire to understand and thus to preserve.

The Fête de la Nature will also be a strategic moment for raising awareness of urgent situations and the issue of protecting biodiversity both in France and abroad.

In addition, it’s an opportunity for everyone to reflect on the place of mankind in nature and consider our responsibility to protect biodiversity.

La Fête de la nature -> 24 and 25 of may 2008.

Creation of the first festival dedicated to environmental image in all its forms: photography, installation, video and digital art.
Why a festival?
To find artists whose environment is the subject of creative thinking.
To raise awareness of the issues of sustainable development through the medium of artistic creation.

The works will be sold by the agency Photoslimited in price of 450 €, of which 5% will go to WWF and 25% to the association Black Box. This price was determined based on the French market of the photo.
This award was established to encourage sales, the alignment of general rates, excluding those of galleries and art fairs and, therefore, hope to win more money for WWF.
By accepting this lump sum, exhibitors will participate actively, not only artists, but the eco-citizens, as well as buyers.
The public and prizes will be awarded on Saturday 15, followed by the auction of 10 images chosen by the public, and 20 images selected by the jury.
All sales must purchase 8% to the City of Paris.
