Simon Popy

Simon Popy is a biodiversity specialist and the president of France Nature Environnement (FNE) Occitanie Méditerranée. He has been actively involved in advocating for the protection of endangered species, particularly in the context of wind energy projects in France. Popy has been vocal about the environmental impacts of wind farms on vulnerable bird populations, including the faucon crécerellette, which has faced significant mortality rates due to collisions with wind turbines. He is leading a legal action against EDF Renouvelable France for the alleged destruction of protected species, emphasizing the need for sustainable energy solutions that do not compromise biodiversity.
