Program
[Work in progress, it will be more detailed soon!]
Who are we?
The National Museum of Natural History (MNHN), Carbone 4, and the Foundation for Research on Biodiversity (FRB) have joined forces in this methodological development project.
The goal is to associate, through expert opinion, the expected biodiversity gains resulting from practices that are favorable to biodiversity. Practices are assessed relative to one another within the framework of their socio-ecosystem. We compare practices from a list tailored to a given socio-ecosystem in a specific climatic and geographical context.
This work was conceived as a meeting point of various biodiversity expertise. The practices of a socio-ecosystem are proposed by land managers (agricultural chambers, natural area conservatories, NGOs, unions, land management companies, etc.) and are then evaluated by biodiversity experts (ecologists, naturalists, agronomists, etc.).

The consortium would like to thank the patrons who made this project possible. This program has benefited from the support of the Museum for the Planet Endowment Fund, with the sponsorship of Kering, the Organisation for Biodiversity Certificates, AXA, ADP group, Vinci Construction, L’Occitane en Provence, Natran, and RTE.
Special thanks as well to the team that enabled the methodological development of Puzzling Biodiversity: Romain Julliard, Flavie Thévenard, Arthur Pivin, Matthias Gaboriau, Louise Dupuis, Hélène Soubelet, Aurélie Delavaud, Denis Couvet, Colin Fontaine, and the MOSAIC team at the MNHN who designed and developed the platform (as well as everyone who participated in the design workshops, the practice taxonomy, and our collective reflections).
