Olivier Bressac

Olivier Bressac is a mountain guide associated with the local union Merveilles, Gravures et Découvertes, which collaborates with the Mercantour National Park. He emphasizes the vital role of park rangers in building trust and legitimacy within the local communities over the past 45 years. Bressac raises concerns about the potential negative impact of budget cuts on the park's staffing, which could weaken the critical relationship between the rangers and the residents, ultimately affecting environmental education and conservation efforts.
