Created by François Sommer (1904-1973) and his wife Jacqueline (1913-1993), the Foundation was recognized as a public utility by decree on November 30, 1966. It works to build a peaceful dialogue between all users of nature, hunters and non-hunters.
It wishes to spread the values of a humanistic ecology in society and to act with sincerity - in the respect of the dignity of Man - for the sustainable use of natural resources.
