Daniel Richard

In 2001, Richard succeeded Luc Hoffmann as president of the World Wide Fund for Nature - France. He was succeeded by Claude Dumont in 2008. During his mandate, the L'Alliance pour la planète brought together more than 80 NGOs for the Grenelle Environnement in 2005. That same year, he launched a blood analysis campaign with volunteers in Nîmes, though no results were published.

In February 2009, Richard founded the environmental and citizens movement, Résistances, with Victor Hugo Espinoza. That year, he announced his candidacy for the European election in Île-de-France. In 2020, he announced his candidacy for the municipal council of Nîmes with support from Europe Ecology – The Greens and the Socialist Party, the Radical Party of the Left, La France Insoumise, Ecology Generation, and Cap21. He joined Yvan Lachaud of The Centrists in the party list, a move unpopular with voters, leading him to finish with only 18.62% of votes in the second round.
