Our projects
Through our projects, we aim to create a society with a better relationship with nature, one that understands and values the services provided by natural environments. Our team aims to facilitate the integration of the value of these environments into decision-making and land-use planning processes.
Developing the ancestral territory of Essipit to improve resilience in the face of climate changeÂ
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).
A green corridor to protect Nicolet's natural environments
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.
Forest agricultural corridors to promote ecosystem services

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