Data is the real visual. Here's what we measure.<\/h1>\n

Each installation generates time-stamped, geolocated, and traceable metrics. Scientifically validated, these metrics align with your reporting frameworks.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>

Scientific rigor<\/div>\n

A protocol developed in collaboration with Biotope Environnement<\/h2>\n

The decline of pollinating insects has been well documented, but the actual effectiveness of biodiversity infrastructure remains a subject of debate in the scientific literature. Biotope Environnement and BetterflyBox have therefore developed a standardized, robust, and reproducible protocol to measure, rather than merely assume the impact of each installation, including in highly constrained urban and peri-urban settings.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n \n <\/svg><\/div>\n

Scientific Objective<\/h4>\n

Assess the actual impact of installing biodiversity infrastructure on local biodiversity in urban, peri-urban, industrial, and peri-industrial areas.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n \n <\/svg><\/div>\n

Operational Objective<\/h4>\n

Develop quantifiable, auditable, and comparable metrics that can be used within the CSRD and ESRS frameworks to guide an ESG strategy and demonstrate regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The BACI standard, with a mandatory test site<\/h4>\n

The protocol follows in the tradition of research\u00ab Before-After-Control-Impact\n \u00bb (BACI)<\/strong>, the methodological framework for evaluating a biodiversity intervention. It combines biological indicators (species, abundance, functional guilds) and environmental indicators (habitat, connectivity, disturbances) over a minimum of 3 to 5 consecutive years<\/strong>,\n A control site\u2014without infrastructure\u2014or a reference scenario is systematically required: without it, no causal inferences are possible, and no actual impact can be demonstrated.<\/p>\n

Four hypotheses are tested at each site: an increase in insect diversity (pollinators, beneficial insects, and native species), an increase in individual abundance, changes in community structure, and improvements in habitat characteristics.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n

Scope of the study<\/div>\n

Four interlocking zones, from the birdhouse to the landscape<\/h2>\n

Spatial sampling is organized into concentric circles around each infrastructure, each with its own data collection protocol.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n
Zone 1<\/span>\n

The Birdhouse<\/h4>\n

Direct observation of nest occupancy, identification of breeding taxa, and assessment of the condition of nesting materials. This is the most immediate measure of the direct effect.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Zone 2 \u00b7 5 m<\/span>\n

Instant Shopping<\/h4>\n

Pan traps, pollination transects, and floristic quadrats. This pattern is consistent with the behavior observed in Halictus<\/em>, Osmia<\/em> and Megachile<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Zone 3 \u00b7 25-50 m<\/span>\n

Local environmental impact<\/h4>\n

Microhabitats, food plants, vegetation structure, soil samples, and the daily foraging range of most solitary bees.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Zone 4 \u00b7 50-500 m<\/span>\n

Landscape level<\/h4>\n

Ecological connectivity, land use, and habitat fragmentation, analyzed using GIS and remote sensing.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>

Indicators<\/div>\n

12 SMART, biological, and environmental indicators<\/h2>\n

Each indicator is defined using the SMART method (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound) and is supported by scientific literature. The list is tailored to the context of each site and the client\u2019s reporting objectives.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
