For reasoned management of human and natural resources
In order to realize an ecotourism concept, Atlas Ecosite is committed to minimizing negative impacts on the environment and to integrating harmoniously with nature and the surrounding population.
Atlas Ecosite is an environmental experimentation center which aims to make those who stay there aware of the ecological choices of the estate's facilities and the commitments that result from them.
The carbon footprint due to the travel of travelers coming to reside at the Atlas Ecosite estate will be reduced by the planting of olive trees offered to people in the surrounding communities of Amizmiz who need them.
All of the estate's buildings are made of earth and natural insulation extracted on site. The only concession is that cement is used for seismic elements and for cooling/heating slabs.
Hydraulic and electrical autonomy is produced by photovoltaic and thermal panels. A generator is nevertheless used in the event of long periods of overcast skies or rain. At night, the area is lit by solar lamps. The treatment of drilling water and wastewater is provided by two double-tank treatment plants in two spreading areas.
No pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used in the vegetable gardens and in all the natural areas of the estate. Drip irrigation is installed in cultivated areas. Plant waste is given to herd breeders.
