Was the Camargue spared?
At this time, the exceptional biodiversity of the Camargue wetland zones was already recognised and they were protected by various national and international laws. The Camargue was not included in the development project and mosquito control was not carried out there by the EID. However, tourist agents or other private parties sprayed on a regular basis with no authorisation, using all kinds of products, of which the impact on the non-targeted fauna (other than mosquitoes) was very significant locally.
