Le lac du Bourget parmi les "réserves de biosphère" de l'Unesco Par AFP © 2025 AFP Le lac du Bourget, dans les Alpes françaises, a été désigné samedi "réserve de biosphère" par l'Unesco, parmi plus de 750 sites dans le monde conciliant protection de la nature et présence humaine durable. L'Unesco désigne chaque année de nouvelles réserves, 28 cette fois-ci, qui servent de modèles de développement conjugué avec la protection des écosystèmes. Concernant le lac du Bourget, en Savoie, la délimitation retenue "préserve le cœur écologique du lac, soutient le tourisme à faible impact et l'agriculture traditionnelle, et met en avant le tourisme culturel, les énergies renouvelables et l'éducation environnementale, ce qui en fait un modèle alpin où biodiversité, patrimoine et communauté prospèrent ensemble", a expliqué l'organisation onusienne. Elle a salué la coexistence de 180.000 habitants et de "plus de 6.100 espèces animales et végétales répertoriées". "Cette reconnaissance internationale est le fruit d'un engagement partagé, pour préserver notre environnement et préparer l'avenir", s'est félicité dans un communiqué le maire d'Aix-les-Bains et président de la communauté d'agglomération Grand Lac, Renaud Beretti. Un autre site français a été retenu, les "marais et marées entre la Loire et la Vilaine", soit 2.000 km² le long de la côte atlantique entre les estuaires de ces deux fleuves. Il compte "250.000 habitants, comprend des ports de pêche, des villages salins et des hameaux agricoles". Parmi les autres nouvelles réserves, l'Unesco a désigné un pays entier, Sao Tomé-et-Principe, avec son archipel dans l'Atlantique équatorial, mais aussi divers sites naturels en Chine, en Jordanie, en Islande ou à Madagascar, entre autres. "Avec plus de 700 réserves dans plus de 130 pays, couvrant plus de 5% de la surface terrestre, ces sites servent de modèles pour concilier conservation et développement", a expliqué l'Unesco au sujet de ces territoires qui regroupent 275 millions de personnes. Un congrès de l'Unesco sur ces réserves, créées en 1971, s'est tenu entre lundi et vendredi à Hangzhou, dans l'est de la Chine, comme tous les dix ans. Un plan d'action adopté par les États membres a mis "l'accent sur la justice intra et intergénérationnelle, et la solidarité sociale et écologique" qu'offrent les réserves.
