La direction régionale Normandie de l'OFB met en œuvre à l’échelon territorial les 5 grandes missions de l’établissement :

• la connaissance, la recherche et l’expertise sur les espèces, les milieux et leurs usages ;
• la police de l’environnement et la police sanitaire de la faune sauvage ;
• l’appui à la mise en œuvre des politiques publiques ;
• la gestion et l’appui aux gestionnaires d’espaces naturels ;
• l’appui aux acteurs et la mobilisation de la société.

À chaque numéro, plusieurs articles sont mis à la disposition des lecteurs gratuitement. Pour célébrer le premier anniversaire de la revue, trois articles sont disponibles :

• Comment identifier un potentiel de renaturation sur son territoire ?
• Le "Défi familles à biodiversité positive" : prendre en main son empreinte biodiversité
• Deepfaune : vers un traitement automatisé des images de pièges photographiques
