A contact close to you.

Five regional coordinators and eight sector coordinators cover the whole canton of Vaud and neighbouring territories. For any question, observation or intervention, contact the person responsible for your area directly.

Each sector, one specialist.

2026 distribution

The canton of Vaud is divided into nine districts covered by BeaverWatch. Each has a sector coordinator who knows the terrain, the watercourses and the resident beaver families. Above them, regional coordinators maintain the link with neighbouring cantons — Geneva, Fribourg, Neuchâtel, Bern and Valais.

Looking for solutions ? Here's how to protect yourself

The Vaud territory is divided into nine sectors. Select a region on the map to display the contact person — the first point of contact for reporting an observation or requesting an intervention. District 8 is currently covered by Pierre-Alain Marro, who would gladly hand it over to a new coordinator: we're looking for people, join us.

Inter-cantonal coordination.

Regional coordinators oversee the sector coordinators and represent BeaverWatch with the cantonal authorities. They ensure consistency in the records and maintain the link with neighbouring cantons.

A problem beyond our scope ?

For any question falling directly under cantonal administration — wildlife, forestry, water management, biodiversity — the canton of Vaud provides a directory of contacts by field. This is the right point of contact when a question requires legal or administrative expertise.
