Ecological surveys in Montpellier.

In Montpellier, between rapid coastal urbanisation and the proximity of ponds and lagoons (Natura 2000, ZNIEFF, wetlands), development projects come up against marked ecological stakes: protected Mediterranean species, ecological corridors, sensitive lagoon habitats. An ecological survey conducted early conditions the impact assessment, the environmental authorisation and the planning permission. Our ecologists carry out four-season fauna and flora surveys, the VNEI, the Natura 2000 impact assessment and the CNPN application, with the monitoring of ERC measures, for projects in Montpellier and across the metropolitan area.

In Montpellier, 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.
