A team of researchers from several institutions, including the French Biodiversity Agency (OFB), has developed a new modeling approach to gain a better understanding of the distribution of anadromous migratory fish at sea. This method, applied to threatened species such as shad and the European eel, has led to major advances in their management at sea.

What is the current state of forest biodiversity in France? What pressures are being exerted on it?

On October 10, 2023, the CNRS Western Guiana Research Station (SROG) was officially inaugurated in the commune of Awala-Yalimapo.

As part of the UROS project, the ECLA "Ecosystèmes Lacustres" cluster has joined forces with the ECOCEAN company to design innovative devices to promote biodiversity in lake ecosystems. After 5 years of testing in real-life conditions, the initial results are encouraging.

The French Biodiversity Agency (OFB) and its partners fully achieved their objectives during the second data acquisition campaign for the Balearic shearwater (Puffinus mauretanicus), which took place in southern Brittany.

At a time when the territorial deployment of renewable energies (RE) is accelerating, the French Biodiversity Agency (OFB) has published a study, commissioned from the consultancy firm PwC, aimed at identifying and promoting the levers developed internationally for integrating biodiversity into solar photovoltaic (ground-mounted or floating) and onshore wind farm projects. After cataloging initiatives in the field in eight countries, this study examines 80 levers for action and avenues for consideration for their possible activation in France

The French Biodiversity Agency (OFB), the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (EPHE), the Pyrenees and Mercantour National Parks, and their partners have published a study on the diet of common birds in the mountains. Using an innovative method, it characterizes the different diets of insectivorous birds according to the intensity of grazing on the sites they occupy.
