Natural water retention measures NWRM - Measures offering multiple benefits to meet water-related challenges - n° 72 | Rencontres |
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.
Wildlife Biology | Revue et bulletin périodique
Wildlife Biology est une revue scientifique internationale visant à fournir une information concise et robuste aux chercheurs, pouvoirs publics et gestionnaires. La revue publie des articles et des notes plus courtes en anglais, issus de travaux réalisés partout dans le monde. Ces articles peuvent être de nature théorique, empirique ou expérimentale, et couvrent tous les aspects des sciences de la faune sauvage.
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 | Comprendre pour agir |
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.
Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) - Independent Review Report | Rapport d'étude |
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.
Assessment of the National Biodiversity Strategy 2011-2020 (condensed version) | Comprendre pour agir |
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.
A national centre to promote river restoration - n°40 | Rencontres |
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.
Monitoring waterbird populations in three major wetland complexes of Sub-Saharan Africa | Rapport d'étude |
Millions of waterbirds migrate each year through Asia, Europe and Africa. These birds are generally widely dispersed during the breeding season, but during the dry season in the Sub-Saharan wetlands, many of them concentrate in huge flocks. The dry season, approximately October to March, is therefore a particularly good time to census waterbirds in West and Central Africa. A three-year programme (2006-2008) was initiated by the “Office national de la chasse et de la faune sauvage” (ONCFS), in order to simultaneously census birds in this extensive region.
Invasive alien species in aquatic environments - Practical information and management insights - Vol. 4 | Comprendre pour agir |
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.
Ecological continuity in littoral wetlands, a local, national and European issue - n° 41 | Rencontres |
Questions concerning littoral wetlands are being raised during a time of transition impacted by both natural phenomena (e.g. the infl uence of climate change on littoral wetlands) and institutional changes. In this highly fl uid context, the objective is to produce a joint project for the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Channel/North Sea coasts, based on a shared vision of the issues.
Guide to scale interpretation and age estimation for Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) from French populations | Guides et protocoles |
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.
