Events
In 2018 France Nature Environnement formally complained that Nicolas Vanier's film crew had disturbed a colony of Greater Flamingos by repeatedly flying overhead in an ultralight and causing an estimated 11% of the French breeding population to abandon its nests and eggs. Vanier later agreed to end his filmmaking and transfer the movie's location to Norway.
