What is the “Oasis Nature” network supported by Humanité et Biodiversité?
A “Nature Oasis” is an area dedicated to preserving biodiversity and recreating links between mankind and nature. Joining the network is voluntary. It requires good land management practices. The dedicated area must be conducive to the development of wild flora and fauna.
A commitment that translates into compliance with a charter
A charter is neither a legal document nor a list of requirements, but a commitment to sustainable behavior.
- Spontaneity: nature finds its place in this hunting-free oasis.
- Natural: L’Oasis Nature is a pesticide-free area, where sustainable techniques are used to maintain green spaces.
- Diversity: The Oasis must be a diverse place, conducive to the development of flora and fauna.
- Selectivity: use of local plants and control of invasive species
- Sobriety: limiting night-time lighting and moderating water consumption
- Solidarity: the Nature Oasis is a modest but essential contribution to the well-being and health of all.
Our Oasis Nature Network sites
Our commitment is a contribution to this great ecological network. A delegation from Humanité & Biodiversité visited the sites to validate their ecological interest. ECT is proud to join this Network with two sites. And we sincerely hope that this is just the beginning.
- Renaturated areas at the ECT site in Villeneuve-sous-Dammartin (77)
This 167,000 m² area, which has been renatured by adding soil, contributes to ecological diversity through the creation of an orchard, wooded areas, open spaces, a wetland and a compensation zone suitable for the common buzzard.
- Grassed parking lot at ECT headquarters
This 4,800 m² open-ground area is used as a company parking lot. It is home to several remarkable trees and old walls that provide shelter for small wildlife.
