In 2021, despite the difficulties linked to COVID 19, which continued, all of Noé's teams were able to mobilise and commit themselves to more and more projects to protect biodiversity. Thus, despite a global context that is still very particular, Noé's activities have multiplied in 2021!
As far as our national activities are concerned, 2021 marked the 15th anniversary of our Operation Butterfly participatory science programme, as well as the release of a related application, Papillonline, to improve the monitoring of common butterflies in France.

It was also an important year for agricultural biodiversity, with the release of a must-have compendium, 14 agricultural biodiversity indicators for the agri-food industry, and the creation of a webinar aimed at discussing solutions to facilitate the shift to biodiversity in agri-food companies.
Participatory sciences have also seen the birth of a new programme, Lépinoc, which has received the support of elected officials in the Ile-de-France region. Lépinoc offers managers of green and natural areas the opportunity to monitor moths and aims to raise awareness of these little-known and very diverse species and to improve knowledge of their diversity and abundance.
Finally, the Jardins de Noé were able to congratulate themselves on having 150 new members in their network in favour of the ecological management of gardens and green spaces, with a member of choice: the Potager du Roi de Versailles, a remarkable garden.
Internationally, 2021 was an important year for Parcs de Noé with the arrival of two new parks: the Conkouati-Douli National Park in Congo and the Binder-Léré protected area complex in the Republic of Chad.
Our pro-biodiversity channels also saw the second phase of the ECONOBIO project come to fruition with the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the Ghanaian and French governments, and Noé. Also in Ghana, Noé and its partners inaugurated the organic shea butter processing plant in the community of Murugu, which will create approximately 600 jobs and stimulate the organic shea butter industry in Ghana, thus empowering the inhabitants economically.
In New Caledonia, several voluntary actions to introduce seedlings produced by the community nurseries were organised. An exhibition and a booklet on endemic palms and conifers were also very successful !
Finally, in the Balkans, after 9 years of intervention and faced with a sharp increase in the number of pelican colonies, Noé is gradually withdrawing from the area and leaving the project in the hands of sufficiently strong and well-structured civil society organisations to continue the activities launched.
All of these actions have been made possible thanks to the support of our partners and donors, to whom Noé is very grateful.
Many other projects and results can be found in our report ! (available only in french).
