⚠️ Invasive Alien Species: A Threat to Biodiversity

Did you know that some species introduced by humans pose a serious threat to our ecosystem? These Invasive Alien Species (IAS), such as the raccoon, Himalayan balsam, or Egyptian goose, spread at the expense of native species.

They arrive in various ways:
✔ Through trade (ornamental plants, pets)
✔ Through transport (boats, planes, vehicles)
✔ Through negligence (intentional or unintentional release into nature)

Once established, these species multiply rapidly, disrupting ecosystems and sometimes causing irreversible damage to our native flora and fauna.

🛑 An immersive and interactive exhibition

RIVEO invites you to explore this ecological issue through 7 themed areas, combining education and sensory immersion:

🌿 Natural habitats: explore riverbanks, underwater environments, and riparian zones
🐾 The invaders: discover invasive rodents, plants, fish, and crustaceans
⚖️ Control measures: actions taken by authorities
🏡 What can we do?: practical solutions to apply at home
🎮 A fun and educational experience for all ages!

With a carefully designed layout, immersive scenery, and numerous interactive displays, this exhibition is suitable for visitors of all ages.
