LPO ALSACE

What LPO ALSACE does

LPO Alsace is the regional delegation of LPO France (Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux), the French national bird protection league. Organized as a French association loi 1901 non-profit headquartered at 1 rue du Wisch, 67560 Rosenwiller, France, it operates across the Alsace region with cross-border conservation activities extending into Germany and Switzerland along the Upper Rhine. Its core activities span wildlife protection, habitat conservation, environmental education, and citizen science, with the organization's website (alsace.lpo.fr) — hosted on infrastructure provided by LPO France — serving as the primary digital interface.

The organization's service portfolio includes bird observation guidance, a wildlife rescue service (SOS Biodiversité) handling injured birds and small mammals, environmental education programs for schools, guided nature outings and publications (brochures, magazines, books), and two educational games (Comptage Mania and Concerto). Underlying technology consists of a Joomla-based web platform, partnerships with ODONAT (Office des Données NATuralistes d'Alsace) and Faune Grand Est for citizen science data collection, and approximately 20 survey agreements with UNICEM aggregate operators for bird monitoring at artificial water bodies. No native AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or SDKs are offered.

LPO Alsace generates revenue through a non-commercial mix of individual membership fees ('Adhérer'), donations (including emergency appeals during events such as the 2026 heatwave), and project co-financing from the European Regional Development Fund via the INTERREG Rhin Supérieur program, with institutional support from Agence de l'Eau Rhin-Meuse. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. It serves three primary segments: the general public and nature enthusiasts (primary), schools and educational institutions, and citizens encountering wildlife in distress. Operating geographies are regional — Alsace plus the Upper Rhine cross-border zone — and the organization is actively operating as of 2026.
