Protecting an endangered species

In our forest, we were fortunate to spot fringed gentian, which is considered a threatened species in Burgundy. Found in wet meadows, calcareous grassland and open ground, it is seeing its habitats decline under pressure from human activity.

Restoring a woodland pond

Woodland ponds are biodiversity hotspots: a watering hole for large wildlife, a feeding ground for insectivores and a refuge for wetland species (amphibians, dragonflies, etc.).

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.

How to contribute in 5 steps

1

Identification

We identify ecosystem restoration and conservation needs across our forests.

2

Financing

Your support enables us to fund the practical work and ongoing monitoring of our biodiversity projects.

3

On-the-ground work

On the ground, our forest managers and conservation managers oversee the work.

4

Impact measurement

We measure our impact using our Environmental Score and track key indicators over time.

5

Monitoring

We keep you updated on the project, provide you with communication materials and ensure its long-term continuity.

Our commitments

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.
