THE E SINTINELLE LABEL
A reference point for discovering Corsica differently
Corsica has an exceptional natural heritage, between sea, coastline, mountains and rivers. This richness makes the island beautiful, but it is also fragile. Faced with growing pressure on natural areas, the Office de l'Environnement de la Corse created the E Sintinelle label to encourage more environmentally respectful practices.
The E Sintinelle label distinguishes nature leisure professionals on land and sea who commit to a responsible approach in support of preserving the island's natural environments.
Who are these field actors?
The label concerns professionals whose activity takes place in direct contact with nature.
Activités de pleine nature terrestres
Guides de randonnée, accompagnateurs en montagne, moniteurs de VTT, de trail, d'escalade ou de canyoning.
Activités de pleine nature maritimes
Centres de plongée, organisateurs d'excursions maritimes, loueurs de kayaks, de paddles ou de voiliers.
In concrete terms, this means they commit to:
comply with the environmental regulations in force;
preserve natural sites, fauna and flora;
limit pollution and reduce the impact of their activity;
manage resources and waste responsibly;
pass on the right habits to the public in order to better protect Corsican biodiversity.
What the label means for you
When you choose an activity carrying the E Sintinelle label, you identify a professional committed to an approach supervised by the Office de l'Environnement de la Corse. This professional fully acknowledges their role as a sentinel of the territory: carrying out their activity while limiting its impact on natural environments and raising public awareness of good practices.
A choice for the future
Choosing an E Sintinelle professional means supporting a way of discovering Corsica that values both the beauty of the places and the need to preserve them. More than a mark of recognition, it is a concrete commitment to a Corsica that is more respected, better passed on and durably protected.
