Où en est la France en matière de compensation écologique ?

In France, ecological compensation has existed since the 1976 Law on the Protection of Nature. Over the past decade, there has been a renewed interest in its application, though many questions still remain unanswered.. The choices of implementation systems and the effects they will have on the objec...
