Faced with the alarming erosion of living organisms, we are taking action to preserve the ecosystem services that are essential to human beings. By preserving, restoring or recreating natural environments, we help to strengthen biodiversity and limit its decline.  <\/p><p data-start=\"536\" data-end=\"1110\">We pay particular attention to wetlands because of the essential role they play in ecosystems. Situated at the interface between aquatic and terrestrial environments, they are among the richest habitats in terms of flora and fauna. Many species, including amphibians, insects, birds and chiropterans, find favorable conditions for breeding and feeding. Wetlands also help to regulate the water cycle, providing storage, filtration and regulation functions.   <\/p><p data-start=\"1112\" data-end=\"1714\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">At ECT, we transform derelict and degraded land into undeveloped sites with an environmental and social vocation, thanks to the reuse of excavated soil from the construction industry. Our aim is to achieve a positive biodiversity balance, above and beyond regulatory requirements. To achieve this, we have made a commitment to Nature with the OFB, and we systematically assess the ecological quality of our projects. Right from the design stage and throughout the construction process, we integrate biodiversity-friendly actions, whether to preserve, enhance or create wetlands.   <\/p>\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-7e8155a e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7e8155a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db71043 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"db71043\" 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\">Concrete actions<\/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-05b67e6 e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"05b67e6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80fc4b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"80fc4b5\" 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 class=\"isSelectedEnd\">We are implementing several concrete actions to protect and restore wetlands on our sites.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Our first priority is to avoid areas of high ecological concern. To this end, we carry out fauna and flora diagnostics prior to each project. During construction, we protect and secure identified areas with site fencing. We also install anti-return barriers for amphibians. These devices enable amphibians to leave work zones and prevent their return.    <\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">We also limit discharges into the natural environment. To this end, we create ditches to store and infiltrate runoff water. We complement these features with filtration devices such as redents or straw filters.  <\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Where necessary, we restore and enhance preserved natural environments. In particular, we can: <\/p><ul data-spread=\"false\"><li>Clean areas  <\/li><li>Clean up areas affected by landfill  <\/li><li>Thinning overgrown woodlands<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Right from the design stage, we take ecological issues into account.
