1.1 Ecological and environmental engineering
To combat these threats, a number of principles emerged at the end of the 20th century. Among them is ecological engineering, which seeks to respond to the challenges that societies are now facing, such as the erosion of biodiversity and climate change.
The definition commonly accepted by professionals presents ecological engineering as "the conduct of projects which, in its implementation and monitoring, applies the principles of ecological engineering and promotes the resilience of ecosystems." (Official Journal, August 18, 2015). In particular, ecological engineering enables the reconstitution of natural environments, the restoration of degraded environments and the optimization...
