Governments are facing the challenge of achieving their biodiversity goals, particularly those related to protecting different environments. In this context, see how Habitat its expertise to help government agencies adapt their biodiversity management practices in response to the intensity of human activity in their territories.

Habitat was commissioned by WWF-Canada to develop a scientific definition of primary forests, as well as a geospatial workflow to map primary forests in Canada and strengthen their protection at the federal level.

The Femmes Pro-Forêts project, led by the Union des producteurs agricoles - Développement international in collaboration with the Canada Research Chair in Ecological Ecology, aims to adapt to climate change for the benefit of vulnerable women, young women and their families in Guinea's Moyen-Bafing National Park, notably through the increased adoption of nature-based solutions.

The David Suzuki Foundation and Habitat have joined forces to carry out in-depth analyses in five major Canadian cities, highlighting the crucial role of natural infrastructure in urban environments. The aim? To provide decision-makers with evidence for more effective management of natural assets, and to enable citizens to better understand their benefits.

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

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.

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 has commissioned Habitat to carry out an assessment of Candiac's urban forest 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.
