What if we stopped "making room for nature"?
For several years, at TerrOïko, we have been defending another idea of biodiversity protection and its consideration in urban planning and construction projects.
Our CEO Sylvain Moulherat went to present its main aspects this week during the innovation meetings of the "Lab Public Works and Infrastructure," supported by the National Federation of Public Works and IMPULSE PARTNERS - A FAST LANE FOR INNOVATION.

The picture of a flower, the sound of a bird. What's next?
To make such data scientifically usable for training AI models or conducting statistical analyses they need to be annotated. This means enriching them with additional information, starting with identifying the species.
This was the focus of last week's EcoinfoFAIR conference, an annual event bringing together experts in informatics applied to ecology. Over three days, participants gathered at the CNRS Station for Theoretical and Experimental Ecology in Moulis.

Can digital tools realistically represent the processes at work in nature?
This is a recurring question when discussing ecological modeling: Can we trust digital tools to realistically represent the processes at work in nature?
In other words, are these methods (and the results they produce) reliable enough to inform decisions that support biodiversity?
To help answer this, we recommend reading a recently published article by a team of North American researchers in the journal Ecology and Evolution (link at the end of this post).
