As part of this project, the team developed an innovative approach to inform the decisions of sub-national players in achieving the goal adopted at COP15 of protecting 30% of terrestrial, aquatic and marine areas by 2030, and to provide food for thought for the governments of Quebec and California.

The Innu nation of Essipit demonstrated its leadership earlier this year by announcing its ambitious protected area and connected habitats project, Essipiunnu-meshkanau. This announcement is part of a vast initiative undertaken by the nation to better protect and manage its Nitassinan (ancestral territory), in order to restore and conserve quality habitats for local species and ultimately maintain the innu-aitun (traditional activities and knowledge of the Essipiunnuat).

Our study for the City of Nicolet reveals that planning the creation of a "green corridor" contributes to the conservation of biodiversity in the St. Lawrence Lowlands region.

The municipality of Saint-Hippolyte commissioned Habitat to carry out a study to estimate the current value of natural environments based on a biophysical and economic assessment of several ecosystem services.

Through this project, Habitat conducted a study into the feasibility of eco-tax tools applied to the ecological footprint of land use.

The results of our study will make it possible to maintain and improve ecological connectivity to support biodiversity, promote resilience and continue to benefit from ecosystem services.

The Demain la forêt - infrastructures vertes project, launched by Jour de la Terre and supported by the Quebec government, aims to develop uncultivated agricultural areas where the slopes are too steep for cultivation.

Our study for the Nicolet-Yamaska MRC identified natural environments of importance for supporting biodiversity, ecosystem services and maintaining connectivity.

Our team studied the implementation of natural solutions to adapt to climate change and fight against biodiversity loss on the territory of 11 Quebec municipalities and MRCs.

We have developed a strategy for planting the 500,000 new trees that will maximize the sustainability of the urban forest while improving the distribution of nature in the city.

Our team evaluated the benefits associated with the revegetation of agricultural corridors for wildlife (habitat and connectivity) and the provision of ecosystem services.

Our analysis of the Rosemère urban forest (portrait, ecosystem services, functional diversity) has allowed us to develop planting recommendations that will meet conservation objectives.

We analyzed the ecosystem services provided by the natural environments of the integrated water management area managed by Abrinord in order to prioritize conservation actions.

Our team evaluated the role of trees in Parc Jean-Drapeau in sequestering carbon, improving air quality and avoiding stormwater runoff.

In 2021, Nature-Action Québec commissioned Habitat to carry out an assessment of the urban forest of the City of Candiac with a view to improving its resilience in the face of global change.

Our analysis of various conservation scenarios identified the one that will have the most positive impact on biodiversity, connectivity and ecosystem service provision.

Our study of the role of natural environments in flood prevention and other ecosystem services has shed light on the economic values associated with these services.
