Sixteen Zones Ateliers are actually recongized by CNRS (ZABR, ZAM, ZAS, ZAL, ZAPVS, ZAAR, ZAA, ZATA, ZAEU, ZAHWG, ZABrI, ZATU, ZAAJ, ZA PYGAR and ZARG).
The Zones Ateliers network (RZA) is recognized by ALLENVI, as a Long-Term Experimentaion and Observation System for Research in Environment: the SOERE RZA.
In this context, the RZA organizes workshops of scientific reflection on transversal questions..

PYGAR studies the spatial transitions within the upstream-downstream gradient of the Pyrenees or the Massif Central to the Garonne Plain. Scaling and modeling are based on the skills of ZA PYGAR laboratories in satellite image analysis. SSEs are treated at different times since the last glacial maximum until the present time.

This low density is at the same time an asset and a threat to the resilience and sustainability of these territories: if, on the one hand, anthropogenic pressure can decrease, on the other, low density can reduce the capacity to protect. the territory of environmental stresses. Yet rural environments provide an important part of the ecological goods and services on which society depends.

It brings together a diversity of disciplines, from environmental science to health ecology, involving collaboration between scientific, private, public, associative and citizen players. The interdisciplinary research carried out aims to characterize the operational links between man and nature, respond to societal health issues in the Camargue and steer the Camargue socio-ecosystem towards resilience and sustainability in terms of health.
- Geographical area: located on the Camargue coast of the Rhône Grand Delta , within the perimeter of the Camargue Biosphere Reserve. It is made up of environments of lagoon-marine (Mediterranean Sea) and fluvio-lacustrine (Rhône River) origin.
