The Lake Geneva region is no doormat!

Dear readers,

You have no idea what a treasure this soil is, which we tread on every day with our innocent footsteps (hmm) without suspecting its preciousness, its fragility, the incredible complexity of its geology (or rather pedology), biochemistry, ecology and the time it has taken to create the power (warning, non-renewable resource!) that gives us its fruits: forests, crops, meadows, marshes that have shaped our landscapes for thousands of years.) that has given us its fruits: forests, crops, meadows and marshes that have shaped our landscapes for thousands of years (as well as bitumen, unfortunately, which crushes it with its inert, impermeable mass).
Jean-Marcel Dorioz, our Vice-Chairman, an eminent geochemist and hydroecologist, does not spare us. He demands our full attention to understand this complex subject.

Enjoy your reading and concentrate!
