The Aiguilles Rouges National Nature Reserve is a nature reserve located in the Aiguilles Rouges mountain range in the Haute-Savoie department in southeastern France. ==History== In the 1960s, a small reserve was created outside the alpine village of Argentière. In 1968, the Aiguilles Rouges mountain range became a game reserve. At the insistence of Jean Eyherald, the priest of Argentière, and a geologist, Yvonne Gubler, an observation site for the Alps was installed above Argentière. Accessible via chairlift, it became difficult to access following an accident. A site at the Col des Montets mountain pass was chosen. In 1971 with the support of mountaineer Maurice Herzog, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc and Vallorcine created ''la réserve intercommunale du col des Montets'' (Intercommunal reserve of the Col des Montets). The reserve was created by ministerial decree on 1974-08-24. It covers in the communes of Chamonix and Vallorcine. The nature reserve is managed by the ASTERS association, which is responsible for all the nature reserves in Haute-Savoie. Since 2006 the reserve has been under consideration for either declassification or reclassification, because of contention over a private landowner not being covered under the constitution in 1974. A public inquiry regarding the reclassification began in 2008 and is currently in progress. The nature reserve is adjacent to two others: * Vallon de Bérard National Nature Reserve, established in 1992 in Vallorcine * Carlaveyron National Nature Reserve, established in 1991, situated near the Gorges de la Diosaz in Les Houches In the reserve one can find typical mountainous plant and animal species, such as Alpine ibex, chamois, rock ptarmigan, golden eagle, ''Rhododendron'', and heather. Multiple lakes are situated within the nature reserve, including Lac Blanc, Lac Noir, Lac Cornu, and Lac du Brévent. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aiguilles Rouges National Nature Reserve」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
