INTERVIEW - For the legal historian, climate change will subject the entire metropolitan territory to the same risk of fire as the Mediterranean forest.


Daniel Perron has been passionate about rural and forestry policies for twenty years.

A doctorate in law, a discipline he teaches at the University of Paris-I, he was advisor to the Minister of Agri-food from 2012 to 2014, before becoming head of foresight at the National Forestry Office (ONF).
