Europe’s spaceport: a biodiversity sanctuary!

Behind the launchers and launch pad facilities at Europe’s spaceport lies a pristine natural environment, teeming with exceptional wildlife. View the picture gallery to meet the base’s four-legged inhabitants.

Using camera traps, the French National Forest Office team was able to capture rare moments of animal life on the site of Europe’s spaceport. Jaguars, pumas, armadillos, squirrels and many other species share this unique ecosystem, where space technology blends harmoniously with wild nature.

Proof that Europe’s spaceport is much more than a space centre: it is also a place where nature reigns supreme.
