Les quatre espèces de génépi présentes dans les Alpes françaises : Artemisa eriantha (génépi laineux), A. genipi (génépi noir), A. umbelliformis (génépi jaune), A. glacialis (génépi des glaciers).
[8/8] La cueillette du génépi révèle l’écart entre règles nationales et réalités locales. Les agents apparaissent comme des sentinelles pour ajuster la gestion et gouverner durablement ces socio-écosystèmes montagnards. #geography #mountain #protectedareas #NationalPark #Mercantour
Pointages de génépi dans les Alpes du Sud et le parc national du Mercantour (PNM) (bases de données SILENE et PNM). Seuls les pointages postérieurs à 1980 sont représentés afin d’avoir une précision de géolocalisation suffisante. En traits pointillés : limites des cinq services territoriaux (ST) correspondant aux principales vallées du PNM, avec les localités où sont situés les bureaux de chaque ST. En trait plein : limite de la zone cœur du PNM (carte réalisée par les autrices sur la base des données SILENE et PNM).

A moody, atmospheric landscape shows the exterior of an old stone building, likely a small medieval church or chapel, positioned on the left side of the frame. The structure is built from rough, weathered stone blocks in varying shades of gray and brown, giving it a heavy, aged appearance. A large arched doorway dominates the visible façade, framed by thick stonework. The wooden door within the arch is dark, worn, and closed, with rectangular panels that suggest age and long exposure to the elements. A short flight of shallow stone steps leads up to the entrance, their edges softened and uneven from years of use. The ground at the base of the steps is gravelly and damp-looking, with scattered stones and patches of darkened earth. To the right of the building, the scene opens into a sweeping mountainous landscape. Rolling hills and forested mountains recede into the distance, layered in progressively lighter shades of blue-gray as they fade into atmospheric haze. The slopes are covered with dense vegetation, likely trees and shrubs, appearing dark and subdued, consistent with late autumn or early winter. In the far distance, the highest peaks show faint traces of snow or pale rock near their summits. Above, the sky is overcast and dramatic, filled with thick, heavy clouds in tones of steel gray and muted blue. The cloud cover suggests an impending storm or the aftermath of rain, contributing to the somber, contemplative mood of the image. The lighting is low and diffuse, with no direct sunlight, casting soft shadows and emphasizing texture rather than brightness. A low stone wall curves gently along the right side of the foreground, acting as a boundary between the building and the descending landscape beyond. Overall, the image conveys a sense of isolation, quiet, and timelessness, blending the solidity of ancient architecture with the vastness and melancholy beauty of the surrounding mountains.
GoT, innit?

A tranquil riverside village with pastel-colored buildings lining a stone embankment, reflected clearly in calm blue-green water. A stone bridge arches over the river on the right, while steep, forested mountains rise behind the town under a blue sky with wispy clouds.
