Presentation
As a Senior Engineer of the French Corps des Mines (Ingénieur général des Mines) at IMT Atlantique, one of France's leading graduate engineering schools, I support the ecological transition and transformation of higher education, at the intersection of scientific ecology, geomatics and territorial planning.
My approach is grounded in the conviction that the protection of living organisms becomes more effective when it draws on robust data, legible maps and accessible documentation. I thus combine field naturalist observation — more than 8,000 records published on iNaturalist — with spatial analysis tools in order to provide robust ecological evidence for urban planning debates.
Key Results — Biodiversity on IMT Atlantique Campuses
- 6 academic years of structured biodiversity initiatives (2020–2021 → 2025–2026)
- 3 campuses covered: Nantes, Brest, Rennes
- 140,973 m² under differentiated mowing management across all campuses
- 437 species documented on campuses (PROPAGE, POPreptiles, STERF+COJ, GRETIA protocols)
- 8 agreements signed with LPO, Bretagne Vivante, GRETIA, Nantes Métropole, ONIRIS, Fédération des Amis de l'Erdre
- Associated SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals): SDG 4 · SDG 13 · SDG 14 · SDG 15 · SDG 17
I am particularly interested in urban ecology: preserving ecological connectivity, green and blue infrastructure (trame verte et bleue), wetlands, the functioning of human-modified environments and the potential for ecological restoration in territories subject to intense land-use pressure.
This approach also draws on participatory science: collaborative protocols, data sharing, engagement of local stakeholders and public dissemination of knowledge, with the aim of strengthening collective understanding of biodiversity and living systems and informing public decision-making.
This site progressively brings together observations, maps, analyses and field actions carried out on the IMT Atlantique campuses, in the Pays de la Loire region, as well as on sensitive sites such as the ZAC du Champ de Manœuvre in Nantes.
