Ecological surveys in Cannes.

In Cannes, between an urbanised coastline, the Lérins islands and the Estérel massif, the wealth of Mediterranean and marine habitats, protected under Natura 2000 and ZNIEFF, makes ecological survey work a structuring prerequisite for development. Protected species, ecological corridors and sensitive coastal habitats call for rigorous surveys upstream to secure the impact assessment, environmental authorisation and planning permission. Our ecologists carry out four-season fauna and flora surveys, the VNEI, the Natura 2000 impact assessment and the CNPN application, managing the Avoid-Reduce-Offset mitigation hierarchy, for operations in Cannes and across the Alpes-Maritimes.

FAQ

FAQ, ecological surveys in Cannes

The area around Cannes concentrates high biodiversity stakes (Natura 2000 sites, ZNIEFF, protected species and habitats). As soon as a project is likely to affect natural habitats, an ecological survey conditions the environmental authorisation, the impact assessment and the planning permission: fauna and flora surveys over a full biological cycle, impact assessment and the Avoid-Reduce-Offset mitigation hierarchy.
Yes: fauna and flora surveys across the four seasons, ecological chapter of the impact assessment (VNEI), Natura 2000 impact assessment, and protected-species derogation application (CNPN) with the definition and monitoring of ERC measures. Our ecologists work in Cannes and its area to secure the project's regulatory timetable.
