Ecological surveys in Clermont-Ferrand.

In Clermont-Ferrand, the proximity of the UNESCO-listed Chaîne des Puys, the wetlands of the Limagne and numerous Natura 2000 sites and ZNIEFF makes ecological survey work a structuring prerequisite for development. Volcanic habitats, corridors and protected species call for rigorous surveys upstream to secure the impact assessment, environmental authorisation and planning permission. Our ecologists carry out fauna and flora surveys across the four seasons, the VNEI, the Natura 2000 impact assessment and the CNPN application, managing the Avoid-Reduce-Offset mitigation hierarchy, for operations in Clermont-Ferrand and across the Puy-de-Dôme.

In Clermont-Ferrand, the wealth of natural habitats (Natura 2000 sites, ZNIEFF, protected species) makes ecological survey work a structuring prerequisite for development.
