Strategic advisory in biodiversity & carbon

We turn biodiversity into a strategic lever for your decisions, helping businesses, municipalities and project developers make it a real advantage.


From business practices to territorial planning, we connect ecological knowledge with the decisions you need to make, and turn biodiversity into lasting value for your projects.

Become a leader in your sector by integrating biodiversity better than your peers. We help you reduce risk, meet investor and client expectations, and turn your land and sites into assets.

A close advisory relationship, from the first conversation to results your team can act on.

  1. Start with you

    Your goals, your constraints, your bottom line. Ecology comes second.

  2. Reveal the value

    We uncover what nature already does for you, and what it could do next.

  3. Build the play

    Clear priorities, real numbers, a strategy you can defend.

  4. Make it happen

    We stay with you until the strategy delivers.

Strategic advice, ecosystem services mapping, nature-based solutions and ecological assessments: every analysis serves a concrete decision.

Service1 / 4

Ecological knowledge matters when it changes your decisions: how a project is designed, how your sites are managed, where you invest.

  • Before a project takes shape

    We pinpoint the ecological issues that bear on the decision and turn them into design guidance.

  • Across the sites you manage

    We build a biodiversity action plan with shared priorities across your sites, so effort and investment go where they have the most effect.

  • When it is time to act

    We guide implementation, scoped to your mandate, and help your team turn the agreed priorities into lasting results on the ground.

Reveal the value of nature

Understand what is
already there.

Habitats, species and ecological connections shape what your project can become.

We characterize your site, from existing data to targeted surveys, and show where opportunities lie.

The right expertise around the table.

Some questions call for additional specialists. We bring the right expertise to your project and define each role before work begins, so you gain depth without added complexity.

Through a research collaboration with Laval University, our mandates draw on advanced ecosystem services modelling and spatial prioritization.

Alexandre Lajeunesse

President and founder

Alexandre helps businesses, municipalities and regional county municipalities turn biodiversity into a strategic lever. He starts from their business reality or their territory’s priorities, then identifies the opportunities nature can offer. His work runs from the field to strategy: surveys and acoustic monitoring, ecosystem services mapping, and carbon project design.

Every project starts with a question. Here are the ones we hear most often.

Yes. Your context, your goals and the question in front of you are enough. We shape the mandate together from there.
