The Camargue is home to one of France's 44 Regional Nature Parks, whose role is to act as the guardians of their exceptional heritage, while at the same time reconciling environmental considerations with local development issues.
The Camargue is a wetland of exceptional importance. It is situated in the Rhône delta – between the two main arms of the river – on the shores of the Mediterranean. The core responsibilities of the Camargue Regional Nature Park, in practical terms, are:
• the harmonisation of agricultural and environmental policies, and the control of standards, as regards local produce
• the protection of nature
• water management
• the provision of information and assistance for visitors
