The Pyrenean Nature Image Festival (FPIN) is the meeting place for the biggest names in photography and nature films.
Throughout the festival, photo exhibitions, films, conferences, nature and photo outings, and workshops are organized by institutions (French Office of Biodiversity, Botanical Conservatory, etc.) or associations (Mycology, Bearded Vulture, etc.)… an incredibly rich program, accessible to all.

Although it gives pride of place to the fauna and flora of the Pyrenees, the festival brings back images from all over the world, striving to defend biodiversity wherever it is, to show what nature has that is most beautiful and precious, but also most fragile.
Beyond the beauty of the images, the festival's objective is to raise awareness of our environment in order to better respect and protect it.
The organizers specifically ask exhibitors to adhere to an Ethical Charter , and to create images that reflect their special relationship with nature. The aim is to capture subjects of wild and untamed nature, while disturbing their activity and environment as little as possible.
