Yesterday was the ceremony to announce the winners of the FEREC Corporate Foundation's 2025 call for projects. As winners of the 2024 edition, we were invited to present the results of the project we had been working on throughout the year.

Called Optibionum, it focused on creating ecological indicators for evaluating building and infrastructure construction projects and integrating them into BIM tools

What did we do? A detailed report will be delivered in December, but here is a brief summary of our work.

Since last April, TerrOïko has obtained Qualiopi certification, which validates the quality of our training programs (and allows the people we train to apply for public funding).

What do we offer? Learn how to use SimOïko, our animal life simulation software.

This is what the teams at the Charente Departmental Hunting Federation (FDC16) are currently doing.

We are attending SIBCA - Salon de l'Immobilier Bas Carbone 2025 (Low Carbon Real Estate Exhibition 2025) as visitors to share our commitments to biodiversity in land use planning.

 On this occasion, Jules Boileau, project manager at TerrOïko, will present MyNature, an innovative platform that leverages the latest technological advances.

This week, we are attending the 8th Conference on Wind energy and Wildlife impacts - CWW2025, the leading international event on wind energy and its interaction with biodiversity, which is being held in Montpellier (France) until Friday.

As part of the poster sessions, we are presenting a special feature of our ecological simulation software SimOïko, specifically designed to analyze the risk of collision between flying species and wind turbines.

For a consulting firm, it is not always easy to know what happens “afterwards”: has this assessment permanently changed the client's perspective on the issue, have these recommendations been followed up on, has biodiversity ultimately benefited?

So when we learn that our report has not been shelved, and that our recommendations have led to concrete action, we savor the moment!

Here is just one example among many: two years ago, we worked on the green and blue infrastructure of the Roissy Pays de France agglomeration.

In two weeks, we will be attending the Conference on Wind Energy & Wildlife Impacts (CWW), the leading international event on wind energy and its interaction with biodiversity.

Now in its eighth year, the conference will be held in Montpellier, France, from September 8 to 12, and is co-organized by France Renouvelables and our colleagues at Biotope.

We will be presenting a special feature of our ecological simulation software SimOïko, specifically designed to analyze the risk of collision between flying species and wind turbines.

Remember! At the end of December, we announced the winners of our call for projects involving the use of our SimOïko software.

Today, we take a closer look at one of the selected projects: that of Jeremie Solere, a CIFRE scholarship doctoral student. The project is jointly led by the Port of Marseille Fos and the UMR G-eau laboratory in Montpellier.

Anouk Glad spent two years working on this topic as part of a postdoctoral fellowship in partnership with TerrOïko, which has just resulted in the publication of an article in the journal Ecological Modelling (*).

In it, Anouk details the work she has done with SimOïko, our species life simulation software.

Her goal was to improve the modeling of wild bees' movements when they go out to forage, taking into account the impact that the landscape can have on their movements and therefore on their pollination activity

Take a proactive local authority, two consulting firms with complementary expertise, and recommendations that can be immediately implemented in the field.

In a short time, you will see concrete changes that benefit biodiversity.

This is exactly what happened a few weeks ago in the town of Saint-Louis, in Alsace.

TerrOïko and DarkSkyLab were commissioned to identify the town's dark sky areas and propose associated public lighting management actions.

In just a few days, the local authority took action to implement several of our recommendations:

A thesis and you move on?

In fact, the opposite is true.

Three years ago, our colleague Jules Boileau finished his thesis on the integration of the ERC sequence (avoid, reduce, compensate) into regional planning.

Since then, he has been taking the message all over France. And the lines are moving in the regions.
