Jean-François Noblet, a committed environmentalist, combines passion and action to preserve our planet.
Jean-François Noblet is a self-taught French naturalist, environmental activist and committed amateur photographer. Technical environment advisor to the Isère General Council until 2012, he is an active member of numerous associations (FRAPNA, LPO, Le Pic Vert, Nature et Humanisme, SFEPM, SHF...) and a member of JNE (Journalistes et écrivains pour la nature et l'écologie). Co-founder of FRAPNA Isère in 1972, he has helped set up numerous concrete biodiversity projects, including the first map of biological corridors in France.
A recognized specialist in bats, small carnivores and small mammals, he is also a regular contributor to the nature press (Wapiti, Rustica, Isère magazine...). Author of a dozen books, including La Martre, Les Chauves-souris and the best-selling La Nature sous son toit, he shares a joyful, pragmatic and deeply human ecology.
Jean-François Noblet does not claim to be a photographer: he uses a modest camera to bear witness to the beauty of living things, rather than to impress. He guides naturalist trips to the four corners of the globe, from Botswana to Alaska. His current battles: protecting the amphibian vole, banning pesticides, and getting marten, weasel and polecat removed from the list of “harmful” species. His dream? That her two daughters will also be able to see a free tiger or breathe the breath of a blue whale.
