More flora and fauna on federal sites with the BiodiversiScape programme<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The BiodiversiScape programme run by DG Environment helps federal organisations and public companies integrate biodiversity<\/a> into their sites, infrastructure and operations. As part of this programme, Sweco carries out ecological surveys, develops ecological recommendations and, where needed, translates them into technical specifications and landscape studies. We also support the monitoring of the measures implemented. The project is being delivered in partnership with the Buildings Agency, SNCB\/NMBS, Infrabel and Defence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Mapping biodiversity<\/h2>\n

Every site starts with a thorough ecological survey. Sweco maps the fauna and flora present and analyses the site\u2019s ecological opportunities and challenges. To date, our ecologists have carried out 43 surveys on federal sites.<\/p>\n

Based on these analyses, we develop practical, well-considered recommendations to enhance biodiversity<\/a>. Where required, we develop these further into technical specifications or detailed landscape studies, ensuring the measures can be implemented effectively.<\/p>\n

In this video, Nina Wauters (Biodiversity<\/a> Project Manager, Sweco) and Goele Drijkoningen (Change Manager, BiodiversiScape) explain how this came about at the Royal Military Academy in Brussels.<\/p>\n
