SOSPYR :
Biodiversity and climate change in the pyrenees

SOSPYR was launched in Catalonia in 2020, thanks to the work of all the Catalan organisations within the Pirineos Vivos Education Network and funding from the Catalan Government.
In 2021, with support from the micro-projects programme, the materials already developed were translated into French and Aranese and distributed throughout the region.
