Ecological engineering and restoration (ERC sequence)

Sustainable development, ERC sequence, green, blue, turquoise grid.

The aim is to present the regulatory and technical frameworks for integrating the environment into projects, plans and programs. The Avoid, Reduce, Compensate sequence, its challenges and the players involved will be presented, discussed and illustrated. The green and blue webs and their interface with the turquoise web will be analyzed as tools for improving biodiversity preservation in land management and development operations.
Learners will be asked to take a step back from the methods and know-how used to apply the ERC sequence in various fields, linked to plans, developments and programs with an impact on the environment.

A field trip is an opportunity to meet the players and the ERC actions deployed, and to draw up a diagnosis and outlook.

Applications will focus on the "trame turquoise" linking biodiversity law and water law, and on the ERC deployment of the development file.

Last but not least, the EU offers learners a real opportunity to critically analyze their know-how and produce innovative, inclusive solutions.

- Identify the ecological and hydrological processes at work in watersheds and the associated issues
- Understand and discuss the concepts of green, blue and turquoise webs, and their implications and issues
- Understand the ERC sequence, its various stages, the principles behind its development, the players involved, the regulations that accompany its implementation
- Identify in situ the specific features of the terrain leading to ecological and hydrological discontinuities and dysfunctions at different scales, and propose an implementation of the ERC sequence
- Identify the sources of documentation relating to these issues, diagnoses and solutions
- Present the study, the context, the issues and the proposed solutions.
