and Mediterranean. The maintenance of a set of remarkable natural habitats and the presence of a rich and varied flora are closely linked to traditional pastoral practices.

The Lozerian part of the plateau is recognised by the Natura 200 network for its most significant stations of community habitats.

some species relic of the last glaciations like the Siberian Ligular. On the plateau of
