Protecting biodiversity is a major concern and challenge for ECT projects. The level of erosion of living things is alarming, while the ecosystem services provided by nature are indispensable to human beings. Preserving, restoring or recreating natural environments helps to strengthen biodiversity and limit its loss.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why taking action to protect wetlands is a priority, as they play a vital role in ecosystems. Because they form a transition zone between aquatic and terrestrial environments, wetlands are one of the richest environments in terms of flora and fauna. A wide variety of species breed here (notably amphibians and insects) and feed here (especially birds and chiropterans). They also play an essential role as buffers and filters in the water cycle. Wetlands are therefore essential.<\/p>\n<p>ECT transforms neglected and damaged land into non-built developments with an environmental and social vocation. These projects are carried out by reusing excavated soil from the construction industry. ECT therefore has a direct impact on its project sites. Our aim is to achieve a positive biodiversity balance that goes beyond regulatory requirements. This takes the form of a Nature Commitment to the OFB. But also systematic assessments of project quality. The design and implementation of our developments offer numerous opportunities for favorable actions and measures that include, depending on the case, the preservation but more often the enhancement or creation of wetlands.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-429080d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"429080d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-860438a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"860438a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">In concrete terms, what actions are implemented at ECT sites?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37a0ece e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"37a0ece\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e977aa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5e977aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The first essential action is to avoid areas of high ecological importance, including wetlands. Fauna and flora diagnostics are therefore a prerequisite. These high-stakes areas are protected and secured during the construction phase by site fencing. But also the installation of non-return barriers for amphibians. These barriers allow wildlife to leave the site but prevent them from returning. The management of runoff water, which can be loaded with suspended solids, aims to limit discharge into the natural environment. This led us to create water storage and infiltration ditches. Redents and straw filters settle and filter the water before it is discharged.<\/p>\n<p>These avoided natural environments are also restored and enhanced &#8211; if necessary &#8211; with, for example, wetlands :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cleaning the area<\/li>\n<li>dredging in the event of landfill,<\/li>\n<li>thinning of the environment, in the case of woodland closure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ecological issues are taken into account during project design and implementation.
