Résumé anglais Within 30 km from Lyon, Dombes area sets a rather rare example of a weel-balanced environment in close vicinity to a city of 1 000 000 inhabitants. Although it is not obvious, Dombes area is not any longer natural but owes its more existence to generations of hard-working people. Thanks to hand-made pounds, this area, such as we know it today, was created, it is a fine example of a successful adaptation to an original, but poor, enrivonment. Unfortunately, today, the balance beetween man and soil tends to deteriorate for several reasons : over-shooting, impoverishing methods of culturation, ever-growing roads-traffic, direct or indirect threat of overbuilding. That is why Dombes area biotope is damaged and it is worrying for the future. Being aware of the rich flora and fauna of Dombes area, and, at the same time, of its fragility, should offer a chance of saving its most precious part.
