Summary
A resilient network of solidarity has emerged in the Cévennes, Mediterranean agro-pastoral Cultural Landscape, providing sustained support to asylum seekers since 2015. Local collectives, composed of retired individuals and young activists, collaborate informally with established social or religious associations to offer daily assistance, accommodation, and advocacy. Operating across villages, these groups have formalized their efforts through an intercollective structure, ensuring long-term sustainability and broader visibility. This grassroots movement, born in response to the 'migratory crisis,' demonstrates how community-driven initiatives can consolidate into a robust system of refuge within UNESCO-listed landscapes.
