Biotope, biodiversity and ecosystem specialists

They encompass fauna, flora, and landscape diagnostic missions, aimed at obtaining an environmental permit to carry out a development project.

These studies enable the definition of measures to avoid and/or reduce biodiversity losses. If necessary, they implement environmental compensation actions in favor of protected species or habitats.

Finally, they lead to ecosystem restoration operations and the restoration of their ecological functionalities. They rely on a wide range of scientific expertise.

The integration of environmental considerations into human activities has become a top priority for organizations. For all businesses aware of their dependencies on biodiversity, we offer consulting services such as the establishment of biodiversity strategies closely tied to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), certifications, standards, nature-based solutions, and/or strategies for payments for environmental services.

The first quantitative estimates of the dependencies of the French financial system on various ecosystem services, and its impacts on biodiversity have been published. 42% of the amount of stocks and bonds held by French financial institutions is issued by companies that are heavily or very heavily dependent on at least one ecosystem service.

To support the ecological transition, everyone recognizes the importance of skill development within teams. However, the observation is as follows regarding life sciences: on one hand, both initial and vocational training are not focused on these topics, and on the other hand, tools and knowledge are evolving very quickly.

That’s why Biotope provides training both on the main concepts essential for understanding the functioning of ecosystems, and on the main tools at our disposal to implement this ecological transition: regulatory tools, applied statistics, molecular, geomatics, taxonomics, etc… But, of course, it is in the field where our trainees make the most rapid progress!

The words and images are thoughtfully selected by our specialists in nature and communication to bring scientific accuracy and credibility to environmental communication actions. The aim is to participate in spreading naturalistic knowledge or to promote nature preservation actions. We help our clients communicate on all topics related to the environment through mastered methodological tools (landscape readings, photographic reports, design thinking, etc.) and available resources (photographic databases, libraries, etc.).
