Conference ‘Water, a crucial resource for all living things

Oceans, seas, lakes or rivers: water is essential to life, and man has developed his societies wherever he could find water. In the history of water, every detail counts. One researcher, Baptiste Morizot, analyses the role of beavers, which we now understand to be indispensable to the life of rivers. Another researcher, Pierre Blanc, tells us that after the floods in Valencia in Spain, we need to return the rivers to their original beds.
We need to adapt our behaviour more closely to nature, rather than trying again and again to bend it to our whims. For Philippe Garcia, our guest, analysing the life cycle of salmon explains the role of water in life on earth and shows us that everything is linked. Saving salmon means saving mankind.
