"In Faire Terre la Nive, “Re-sourcing” begins with the river. The Nive is not treated as a risk to contain, but as the structuring force of the watershed. Our priority is its renaturation: restoring space for water by desurbanising and sanctuarising the major riverbed, and transforming it into a floodable, productive landscape."
