Biological inventories and naturalist expertise

Would you like to assess the impact of your actions in favor of nature, or carry out a fauna and/or flora inventory?

We can support you with biological inventories tailored to your situation and needs. Thanks to our team of naturalist experts and a vast network of collaborators, we are able to mobilize the necessary resources (material and human), even for large-scale missions.

Depending on your budget and the biological groups to be inventoried, we work with you to define the most appropriate methodology (target groups, type of inventory, frequency, protocol followed).

Our fields of expertise cover: botany, ornithology, chiropterology, entomology, mammalogy, herpetology, etc. We can also map habitats (according to different typologies) and assess their conservation status.

With regard to our expertise in chiropterology (the study of bats), Ecofirst has highly qualified staff for:

• Capture (in compliance with health regulations and with anti-rabies vaccination)
• Telemetry (tracking using VHF and/or GPS tags)
• Active and passive acoustic detection and species identification based on recordings
• Consultancy in bat conservation (natural and built-up areas).

As for our expertise in ornithology (the study of birds), Ecofirst has highly qualified staff for:

• Migration monitoring
• Nesting period monitoring (listening points, transects, fixed stations, specific searches for nesting signs in discreet species, etc.)
• Monitoring of wintering populations
• Advice on avoiding, reducing and compensating for the impact of projects on birds
• Advice on bird-friendly developments (natural and built-up areas)
• Advice on managing problems of cohabitation with certain species
• GPS tagging of Black Storks

We also collaborate with various nature protection associations and consultancies to ensure that the various taxonomic groups we monitor are effectively integrated into your projects, and to offer you solutions tailored to their preservation.
