in Ain, local residents oppose the plan to open a theme park

The inhabitants of Trévoux (Ain) wish to preserve a small corner on the banks of the Saône, rich in biodiversity. This is why they strongly oppose the opening of a Dinopedia park, which could drive several protected animal species from their current habitat. Opponents denounce an illegal project. “No planning permission, no environmental study, no impact study“, points out in particular Mr. Nathanaël Duffit-Ménard, member and lawyer of the “Non aux Dinos” collective.

Will the park open its doors?

“Having visited these parks, it is something very basic“, nuance for his part Marc Péchoux, mayor (LR) of Trévoux, who hopes to develop tourism in his city. The park should open this summer. 150,000 visitors are expected each year. The associations have filed several appeals for cancel the project.
