FDJ United raised more than 7 million euros through three Loto lottery drawings to restore forests in the Drôme and Var regions of France.
The funds will support reforestation efforts and studies following major wildfires that damaged these areas during the summer of 2024. The organization will transfer the money to the Office national des forêts and the Office français de la biodiversité.
These agencies will use the funds to conduct research and perform reforestation work in the Gros Bessillon massif in the Var department and the Justin massif in the Drôme department. The lottery drawings took place on 19, 21, and 24 October as part of the Mission Nature initiative. Since 2023, this initiative has raised more than 32 million euros to support nearly 100 restoration projects across France.
