In fact, 80% of the Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity is found in forests. #### Adapt to climate change Healthy ecosystems are less exposed to the danger of natural hazards and better prepared for the impact of extreme weather events. #### Protect plants and animals More than 1 million animal and plant species are in danger of extinction. By protecting their habitats, we help them survive. ### About the project ### About the project A gravel pit is not a haven for biodiversity, on the contrary, as heavy machinery has been working on the ground damaging the soil. Thus, we will need to establish a baseline for biodiversity by creating an inventory of the current plant and animal species present and then evaluate the development of the biodiversity during and after the first plantations. A stream runs through the corner of the forest, which we want to preserve and possibly restore. There are also two forest ponds, which we will preserve. These wetlands are important habitants for a wide range of flora and fauna, and will help improve the forest’s ecosystem. An area of the parcel has overmature Christmas trees, which cannot be harvested but are excellent for to create a healthy forest climate with gaps for new young trees and for biodiversity to flourish.
