The threats to noted species of the region are the subject of a single chapter, which also includes detailed examples of conservation management in the departments ( Pyrénées-Orientales, Aude, Hérault, Gard, Aveyron and Lozère ) .

At the end of the book, there are 22 guided walks for visitors to observe the beautiful and complex flora of the area.
