Why fund biodiversity projects?
1. Biodiversity loss
Biodiversity loss is driven by five main threats: land-use change, overexploitation of natural resources, climate change, pollution and invasive alien species.
2. Biodiversity loss
Biodiversity loss means both a reduction in the number of species present and a sharp decline in species diversity.
3. Our restoration projects
Our ecosystem conservation and restoration projects help halt biodiversity loss by protecting local forest ecosystems that provide habitat for many species.
Identification
We identify ecosystem restoration and conservation needs across our forests.
Financing
Your support enables us to fund the practical work and ongoing monitoring of our biodiversity projects.
On-the-ground work
On the ground, our forest managers and conservation managers oversee the work.
Impact measurement
We measure our impact using our Environmental Score and track key indicators over time.
Monitoring
We keep you updated on the project, provide you with communication materials and ensure its long-term continuity.
Our projects
Working with natural processes
Building on the natural regeneration of our forests, we practise low-impact, close-to-nature forestry.
Protecting biodiversity
By maintaining continuous forest cover and avoiding clear-felling, we preserve woodland habitats for biodiversity.
Working with local businesses
For our forestry operations, we work with contractors based within 100 km of our forests.
Optimising carbon sequestration
By promoting tree growth, we optimise carbon sequestration in French forests.
No chemical treatments
We said "close to nature", and we mean it: no pesticides or other chemicals, and respect for forest ecosystems.
No monocultures
We favour a diverse mix of tree species in our planting to make our forests more resilient.
Tackling imported deforestation
By supplying the timber industry with sustainably managed French wood, we help tackle imported deforestation
No clear-felling
In contrast to an "industrial" approach to forestry, we avoid clear-felling by maintaining continuous forest cover.
