The site will soon have a new look and our wishes for the New Year

Dear contributors 

Fédération France Orchidées, the Orchisauvage administrators Jean-Michel HERVOUET (President), Jacques BRY (cartography coordinator), Françoise PEYRISSAT (editor), Pierre-Michel BLAIS (mail contact management), and the team of cartography and validation experts, wish you all the very best for the New Year and hope that you will be able to continue sharing your discoveries here.

Orchisauvage celebrated its 10th anniversary last year. 2024 was very fruitful, with 160 000 new records (the previous record was 153 000 in 2021), bringing the total number of records to over 1.3 million. 547 new contributors (roughly equivalent to the annual mean) brought the total membership to 6 880. 

2025 will be a year of change, with a modernised look-and-feel to be implemented in the first quarter. A major change in functionality, which users of Faune-France.org will already have seen, is the introduction of localities (« lieux-dits »), which are predetermined local geographical zones, each with a name and a geo-referenced centroid position. These locality names will be visible and recorded from the start of data-entry and will be shown by your queries. 

The new place names will appear on the map in all three data entry modes: click on map, GPS positioning (currently shown below the map) and choice of a municipality (commune). In the latter case there will be two possibilities, ZOOM to commune which shows the municipality and its place names, and DISPLAY which gives a list of place names. 

Once you have positioned your record on the map from one of these three data entry modes you can of course reposition your record; this may modify the record’s attachment to a place name or municipality. 

We are well aware that you will need a little time to get to know the new data entry methods and fully appreciate their advantages - and we will keep you informed with more details as and when the changes are implemented. 

An important result of these changes - except for sensitive records and species - is that your records and those of other contributors will be visible at the centroid of each locality, and therefore more precisely than the current positions at the centroid of a municipality. 

A sample of the new data entry screen is shown below (yellow dots represent the different place names defined in the system).
