Ecological surveys in Pau.

In Pau, between gaves, the hillsides of Béarn and the proximity of the Pyrenean foothills, development projects come up against marked ecological stakes: Natura 2000 sites, ecological corridors, wetlands and protected mountain and plain species. 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 Pau and across the Béarn.

In Pau, 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.
