To better prepare your visit

Texte

 

 

Produced by the ONF with the participation of CNES, this brochure presents in detail the rich flora and fauna of the landscapes in which Europe's spaceport's installations are located.

 

Through beautiful illustrations, you will learn more about the different types of savannah, their evolution over time and seasons, the history of their exploitation, and the measures taken by Europe's spaceport for their conservation.

 

CNES also owns a number of open-access trails on its territory, showcasing French Guiana's exceptional biodiversity: the Monkey Mountain trail, the Anse trail in Sinnamary, the trail through the leisure area in Kourou and the trails on the Salvation Islands.
