The team of keepers is managed jointly with that of the Zoological Space. In case of need or intervention, the entire park team is available to the refuge.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY


Members can attend this annual meeting , which takes place in a room in Saint-Martin-la-Plaine. The purpose of the AGM is to take stock of the events of the year, to take stock of the accounts and to approve the accounts. A tour of the facilities is usually scheduled after the meeting. This is the only time in the year when the refuge welcomes 'visitors'.
