The Cévennes National Park could see staff numbers reduced. The 2027 draft finance bill calls for the elimination of ten positions across France’s national parks, which would include the equivalent of 2.3 full-time jobs per year for the Cévennes park. Other protected areas would also be affected, notably the Pyrénées (three posts) and the Écrins.
Stéphan Maurin, president of the Cévennes National Park, is urging members of the park’s board to reject the budget the state has put forward — a move he says has no precedent in the history of France’s national parks.
“The savings are negligible, but the signal is terrible. We have already given a lot: in the Cévennes National Park, almost one job in five disappeared between 2010 and 2019,” Maurin writes in an opinion piece.

He goes on to detail the many tasks carried out by park staff: advising livestock producers, helping to safeguard wetlands, leading educational outings for schoolchildren… “Parks remain among the last state services still active on the ground, with field agents who know the territory and the people who make it live,” Maurin adds.
