In the image of ecolieux, inhabited spaces in nature that function on ecological principles, why shouldn't bivouac sites function on the same principle? Why should our stopping places, places for sharing and exchanging with other travellers, be degraded by our passage? 

At a time when humans are coming together in communities of interest, when the principles of cooperation and mutual aid must return to the forefront, at a time when the climate crisis must be a central issue in our modes of organisation, how can we re-imagine travel? How can we bring our thirst for exploration and escape into a virtuous circle where we are not the only beneficiaries but the whole ecosystem benefits?

What if taking care of our space meant collectively buying land, sharing it with other travellers who share similar values to ours and thus creating the first community of nomadic guardians of natural spaces?

Claiming to love nature is no longer enough for us. We, nomadic travellers, who also witness our impact when there are too many of us in one place, think it is time to reclaim our role, to move from spectator to actor, from consumer to guardian. Because falling asleep in the most beautiful places in our regions is a privilege that our children should also have the right to enjoy.
