LIFE WolfAlps EU 2022 Conference: Is the grass always greener elsewhere? N° 90 | Meetings |
After having been exterminated in certain countries, the wolf is returning naturally and extending its territory on the continent, not without generating tensions. Managing this conflictual situation has become a major issue. How do our European neighbours manage cohabitation with the predator? Twelve experts representing seven European countries provided some partial answers.
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems (KMAE) serves as a foundation for scientific advice across the broad spectrum of management and conservation issues related to freshwater ecosystems. This special issue aims to address this knowledge gap by promoting studies that assess the ecological, evolutionary and environmental implications of floating photovoltaics and their implications.
Invasive alien species in aquatic environments - Practical information and management insights - Vol. 4 | Knowledge for action |
Invasive alien species (IAS) and their impacts represent a growing concern for the managers of natural areas. In both continental France and the overseas territories, a large number of people and organisations have taken action to limit the damage. Following on from the previous works, volume 4 brings together 25 unpublished project management reports in aquatic and terrestrial environments, including 8 in the French overseas territories.
Guide to scale interpretation and age estimation for Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) from French populations | Guides and protocols |
Belonging to the genus Salmo, the Atlantic Salmon is a species in the family Salmonidae and the subfamily Salmoninae. The Atlantic Salmon is still present in numerous rivers of the French Channel-Atlantic seafront. It has always been absent from the Mediterranean. The overall objective of this guide is to serve as a user manual for interpreting the scales and estimating the age of the Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) from the French Atlantic Salmon populations.
A national centre to promote river restoration - n°40 | Meetings |
In a few months, France will have its very own National Centre for river restoration, like a number of other European countries. In order to collectively consider this centre’s priority activities, Onema organised a day of discussion with the relevant public-sector stakeholders on 1 December 2015 in Paris.
The ICE method for ecological continuity - Assessing the passage of obstacles by fish and macro-crustaceans in the French tropical islands of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans - Concepts and design | Knowledge for action |
Calling on the experience gained in deploying the Information on the continuity of ecosystems (ICE) method in continental France and in a partnership with all the overseas Environmental Directorates and Water Offices, OFB coordinated and facilitated the adaptation of the method to the tropical islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte and Réunion.
Assessment of the National Biodiversity Strategy 2011-2020 (condensed version) | Knowledge for action |
What lessons may be drawn from the implementation of SNB 2011-2020? What methods should be selected for SNB3 (after 2020), notably in terms of the types of action and the governance of the strategy? To answer these questions, the French Biodiversity Agency and the Ecology Ministry requested an assessment of the strategy, including a retrospective analysis (public-policy evaluation) and a forward-looking analysis.
Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) - Independent Review Report | Study report |
CDC Biodiversité develops the Global Biodiversity Score (GBS), a corporate biodiversity footprint assessment tool, to evaluate the impact of companies and investments on biodiversity at a corporate level. CDC Biodiversité and the French Biodiversity Agency (Office français de la biodiversité, OFB) want the tool to go through an independent review.
Natural water retention measures NWRM - Measures offering multiple benefits to meet water-related challenges - n° 72 | Meetings |
Natural water retention measures comprise an array of initiatives to restore the natural properties of ecosystems in view of slowing the runoff of surface waters and increasing the infiltration capacity of soil. Examples from projects in France stress the multiple benefits of these measures.
Guide to the interpretation of the scales and the estimation of the age of brown trout (Salmo trutta) from the French populations | Guides and protocols |
Three biological forms of brown trout, river, lake and sea, have colonised a large number of aquatic environments in France, owing to a high ecological plasticity of the species. The overall objective of this guide is to serve as a user manual for interpreting the scales and estimating the age of brown trout (Salmo trutta) from the French trout populations.
