Our professions
is self-evident
Calidris is involved in the wildlife, flora and wetland aspects of regulatory dossiers for all types of land development projects (wind farms, solar farms, local urban planning, roads, quarries, etc.):
- Impact assessment, Natura 2000 impact assessment,
- ESIA (Environmental and Social Impact Assessment), Studies in accordance with IFC, EBRD and World Bank standards,
- ‘Protected species’ exemption files,
- Location and functionality of wetlands,
- Construction site monitoring,
- Monitoring of facilities classified for environmental protection (ICPE): mortality, activity, etc.
Water Law
In accordance with the decree of 24 June 2008 under the Water Law, we carry out soil and flora analyses to locate and characterize wetlands as defined by the regulations. We study their functionality in accordance with national methodology.
Turnkey
We carry out turnkey projects or initial assessments, depending on the request. What sets us apart is that once our work is complete, we follow up on it and stand by the conclusions of our reports before all authorities.
Our mathematical models
Calidris develops mathematical models applied to renewable energies in order to objectively assess the mortality risks specific to each project. We thus reinforce their safety when they appear to be compatible with biodiversity regulations:
- Collision risk assessment: what is the mortality risk for red kites and black storks in the context of my project?
- Definition of the risk gain associated with a restriction: what is the residual collision risk for my project and at what residual risk does it appear to be compatible with regulations and species biology?
Training & conferences
Calidris operates in France and internationally, contributing its expertise to the development of renewable energy sources through:
- training courses,
- international conferences (Conference on Wildlife & Wind Energy, Low Carbon Summit),
- university projects (Airborne Energy),
- the development of renewable energy production
