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.
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.
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.
We're sure you've already read the whole thing, but just in case...
Here's the link to the Green Engineering Roadmap: https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/sites/default/files/documents/MTE_DGALN-Feuille-de-route-ingenierie.pdf
It was officially presented by the Ministry for Spatial Planning and Ecological Transition last week, and sets out the sector's priorities for 2030.
A few weeks ago, the PEP-BIOccIA project officially changed its name to Gaia predict.
The new name reflects the project's mission: to map natural environments, predict the presence of species in the Occitanie region, and better plan the preservation of biodiversity. The term “Gaia” refers to the Earth. As for Prédict, it underlines the project's focus on predictive analysis and decision support for the sustainable management of our biodiversity.
You think we spend all our time behind a computer?
Well, not quite.
The day-to-day work of our ecological engineers involves conducting research, analyzing data and carrying out studies on behalf of public and private players.
So yes, most of the time we have our hands in statistics, modeling and mapping tools, scientific literature...
But when data or knowledge are lacking, we sometimes have to go out and find them, in the field.
A few days ago, our colleague Victor Gauducheau, a specialist in marine environments, cast off for a little trip out to sea.
Last week, our CEO Sylvain Moulherat was invited to present our work on the subject at the Via Fauna technical seminar.
Via Fauna is a project launched in 2017 by the Fédération Régionale des Chasseurs d'Occitanie (Regional Federation of Hunters), which has led to the development of tools and methods for better integrating ecological connectivity into land-use planning projects and urban planning documents.
TerrOïko's study department carries out a wide range of assignments (17 Green and Blue networks , 23 Black Networks, 5 Transport Infrastructures, and 5 Renewable Energy Projects) in collaboration with numerous stakeholders in the field: DarkSkyLab, auddicé, Element5, Egis, setec, EkoAm Environnement, ECO-MED, La TeleScop, Artelia, Biotope, CETIAC, CERESCO, Lumin(escence), OXAO - Ecosystem Regenerators, ON, the Light Design Agency.
On Wednesday, December 18, our colleague Marie Soret will defend her doctoral thesis at the Maison de la Télédétection in Montpellier.
Her subject?
"Improving the consideration of species, their ecological needs, and the local landscape context in connectivity models for territorial planning."
