description The Guadeloupe National Park, created in 1989 and modified in 2006, has become a central player in the protection of the archipelago’s biodiversity. Half of the visitors who come to Guadeloupe visit the major sites of the park. A great diversity of terrestrial, aquatic and marine habitats characterizes the hearts of the park. Geology, climate, history, as well as human intervention, have shaped landscapes and original biodiversity, today subject to various localized or global threats. Through its missions, the national park intervenes on knowledge, on management measures for the conservation of biodiversity, ecological restoration actions and a special effort of pedagogy and awareness of environmental issues. Its new challenge is to successfully mobilize the actors of the membership area and the adjacent marine buffer zone around the concept of ecological solidarity and thus consolidate the conservation of the biodiversity of core zone.
