Protect biodiversity before building
Before any development project, it is essential to understand and respect the natural environment in which it takes place.
The flora and fauna studies conducted by Géostar make it possible to survey, analyze, and protect the animal and plant species present at a given site, in compliance with the requirements of the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (MELCCFP).
Our specialists identify threatened or vulnerable species, wetlands, and sensitive areas (riverbanks, marshes, peatlands, dense forests, etc.) in order to guide developers, municipalities, and engineers toward solutions that respect biodiversity.
Each study is performed in the field according to recognized scientific protocols, then accompanied by a complete and clear report outlining the measures to adopt to balance development and environmental protection.
Through this approach, Géostar helps its clients ensure regulatory compliance, prevent ecological impacts, and embed sustainability at the heart of their projects.
- Complete inventory of animal and plant species present on the site.
- Strict compliance with government requirements (MELCCFP)
- Protection of sensitive areas: shorelines, wetlands, peat bogs, and natural habitats.
- Environmental compliance assessment prior to any development project.
- Local expertise tailored to Quebec ecosystems.
FAQ
The flora and fauna studies identify the animal and plant species present at a site, as well as the environmentally sensitive habitats that may be affected by a project.
At Géostar, we combine scientific expertise with knowledge of the Quebec territory to deliver precise assessments that meet the requirements of the Ministry of the Environment (MELCCFP).
These studies contribute to the preservation of ecosystems while making it easier to deliver responsible, sustainable projects.
It is an environmental analysis aimed at inventorying the animal and plant species present on a site and determining whether some are threatened, vulnerable or protected.
It also makes it possible to assess natural habitats (wetlands, shorelines, marshes, peatlands, etc.) prior to any development.
A floristic and faunistic assessment is often required:
before a construction project or development in a natural environment,
for municipal projects affecting watercourses, shorelines or wetlands,
as part of an environmental authorization application with the MELCCFP.
Our specialists go on site to:
identify and inventory the species present,
map the sensitive areas,
then produce a complete report with recommendations for preserving or adapting the project.
Each intervention is carried out in accordance with recognized scientific protocols in Quebec.
The duration varies depending on the size of the site, the season and the level of biodiversity.
In general, a complete study can take from a few days to several weeks, including the analysis and report preparation.
An experienced team in environmental and ecological studies.
A rigorous and compliant approach meeting ministerial requirements.
Detailed and accessible reports, making your administrative procedures easier.
A concrete commitment to preserving the biodiversity and territory of Quebec.
