Ecological surveys
Bordeaux, New Aquitaine

In Bordeaux and its metropolitan area, the proximity of the Gironde estuary, the wetlands of the Garonne and the Arcachon basin, rich in Natura 2000 sites, ZNIEFF and protected species, makes ecological survey work a structuring prerequisite for development. Urban pressure on the last peri-urban natural spaces calls for rigorous fauna and flora surveys before any project. Our ecologists carry out the ecological chapter of the impact assessment, the Natura 2000 impact assessment, the protected-species derogation application (CNPN) and the management of the Avoid-Reduce-Offset mitigation hierarchy, to secure the environmental authorisation of Bordeaux operations.

In Bordeaux, the wealth of natural habitats (Natura 2000 sites, ZNIEFF, protected species) makes ecological survey work a structuring prerequisite for development. Four-season surveys, VNEI, CNPN application and the mitigation hierarchy secure environmental authorisation and planning permission.
