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 The site in question is 2.1 hectare of land in the heart of Brittany in the town of Ploërdut. It’s found in a diverse, hilly landscape that alternates with forests, prairies, pastures, and croplands, interspersed with valleys and different bodies of water. The site is bordered on the east by an inlet stream, tributary to the Scorff River.

An indication of overgrazing, the abundance of purple moor grass prevents other species from developing. Getting rid of it allows for a diverse range of plants to take back their natural habitat. #### action\_58.title The thinning of vegetation in the midst of overgrown natural habitats and young, peripheral woodlands. Manual logging, primarily among willows and birches, is carried out on the edges and in wooded wetland areas. #### action\_59.title The cultivation of ideal conditions for amphibians (and wildlife in general) creates favorable environments for their reproduction. **Aquatic insects and dragonflies** will also benefit from these newly formed ponds. Their creation will contribute to create a network of wetlands relevant to the ecological continuity of the area. #### action\_60.title The preservation of herbaceous plants on the moors, prairies, and fallows ensures a myriad of necessary habitats for certain heritage species. It will also prevent the progressive loss of these types of habitats which otherwise can occur if the surroundings are not humid enough for trees to thrive.
