What is the difference between the Vercors Park and the Nature Reserve?

The Reserve is a small part (10%) of the Vercors Natural Park. It is a delimited area that protects natural spaces and the species they shelter. The objective is to preserve the biogeodiversity = fauna, flora, landscapes, geology, soil and subsoil. 🌿
