The chalenges of compensatory

A demanding regulatory framework

The forest code (Art L. 341-1 and following) provide for strict regulations on clearing compensation, both in terms of project definition and the schedule to be respected

A financial commitment to be mastered

If the company wishes to pay the amount, fixed by the decree authorizing land clearing, directly to the strategic forest and timber fund, it is exposed to the higher maximum amount, without really participating to the preservation of forests in France.

An ethical approach and image

The organization which takes the decision to clear the land without reforesting, exposes its notoriety and its reputation to criticism from many detractors. 

For a global approach to compensatory afforestation

Project management from A to Z = Time saving
