Announcement No. 548 of the creation of the association was officially inserted in the Official Journal of the French Republic on Saturday, December 15, 2018. Exploratory Ecology is a non-profit and French law 1901 association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the following months until August 2019, the missions and the first projects of the association were developed by means of field visits in the meadow of the \u00ab\u00a0Coul\u00e9e verte\u00a0\u00bb of the municipality of  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saint-aubin-de-medoc.fr\/\">Saint-Aubin de M\u00e9doc<\/a> in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plant and animal species studied in the first <a href=\"http:\/\/www.explorecology.com\/index.php\/en\/project\/explorecolab\/\">ExplorEcoLab<\/a> project are species inventoried in this meadow. Several butterfly photos were taken in this meadow to create the photo gallery of the second <a href=\"http:\/\/www.explorecology.com\/index.php\/en\/project\/explorcollect2\/\">ExplorCollect<\/a> project. Thus, the missions of the association are scientific missions to develop knowledge and propose actions of species conservation but also missions of public awareness to the protection of biodiversity especially through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.explorecology.com\/index.php\/en\/project\/explorpublic\/\">ExplorPublic<\/a> project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On August 3, 2020, the association was recognized by the
