Action plan for environmental regeneration
Discover how to define a Biodiversity Action Plan for your corporate sites with XNatura. A crucial step in developing a targeted strategy for environmental regeneration, following a technical-scientific approach and aligning with the mitigation hierarchy.
Why is the action plan important?
A Biodiversity Action Plan is a strategic tool that enables companies to proactively manage environmental impacts, enhance corporate resilience, and ensure compliance with international regulations.
Environmental Risk Management
The action plan helps companies identify and mitigate risks related to biodiversity loss by setting specific targets aligned with global nature conservation goals.
Improving business resilience
The action plan contributes to strengthening business resilience, promoting sustainable management of natural resources and reducing vulnerability to the impacts of biodiversity loss.
Alignment with ESG standards and frameworks
The action plan facilitates alignment with international reporting standards such as the ESRS and biodiversity frameworks such as the TNFD, helping companies to disclose and manage environmental data.
What is an Action Plan?
The Biodiversity Action Plan is a strategic document that outlines targeted interventions to protect and enhance biodiversity within a specific corporate site or across a portfolio of sites. Grounded in the mitigation hierarchy (Avoid, Reduce, Compensate, Offset), the Action Plan is developed based on data collected during the assessment phase, ensuring alignment with international biodiversity objectives.
Regeneration actions proposed in the Action plan
All biodiversity regeneration actions proposed in the Action plan follow a technical-scientific approach and can vary in type, such as the restoration of degraded habitats or the creation of ecological corridors.
An arboretum is designed to recreate an environment where pollinators can find habitat and food. Each arboretum consists of at least four nectar-producing plant species (trees, shrubs).
This project involves the creation of green spaces in urban areas to provide suitable habitats for wildlife and to combat the urban heat island effect.
Wetlands are natural environments characterised by the presence of water and provide ideal habitats for amphibians, small reptiles, migratory birds and other species.
These shelters help to provide habitats for a variety of pollinators, including wild bees, butterflies and ladybirds, thus supporting the conservation of local biodiversity.
A biolake is an area where a body of water is created to enhance biodiversity. Each biolake is designed to provide habitats for plant and animal species, including amphibians, aquatic insects and birds.
Birdhouses are designed to provide shelter and nesting sites for various species of birds. They play a crucial role in ecosystems by helping regulate the populations of other species, such as insects.
Tiny Oasis are small habitats distinguished by dense and diverse vegetation. Despite their limited size, Tiny Oasis are characterized by a high level of biodiversity.
Invasive plant species are identified and removed, to be replaced by native plants that support local biodiversity and restore the balance of natural ecosystems.
Reduced mowing is a green management practice that involves cutting grass less frequently, leaving space for spontaneous flowering and promoting biodiversity.
Phytoremediation involves the use of algae and other plant species to purify water and retain pollutants, improving water quality and supporting biodiversity.
An ecotone is a transitional area between two ecosystems, such as a forest and an urban area, promoting biodiversity and the interaction between natural and human-impacted environments.
Dead wood plays a vital ecological role as it serves as an essential resource of food and shelter for the local entomofauna.
Bat houses provide shelter for bats, which play a vital role in many ecosystems. Their presence or absence can provide valuable information about the health of the environment.
Biodiversity Oases are spaces dedicated to the protection of biodiversity, created to restore environments damaged by human activities. They can vary in size and are composed of nectar-rich trees and shrubs, stable meadows, and pollinator shelters.
