Daniel MARC

My service is carried out in various programmes within the Department of Geography, Planning and Environment at Bachelor's (Level 3) and Master's (Levels 1 and 2) level, preferably in the GAED Master's programmes (TRENT and GEMO courses), then APTER, VIHATE and Rural Territories.
The courses focus on the environment and how it relates to my research topics.

My teaching and research activities focus on biodiversity management (management plans, prioritisation of issues, naturalist knowledge and population biology). They also address the support and consideration of biodiversity in different regions, particularly by contributing to the development and implementation of public policies that promote the environment.

My field of study is biodiversity and its operational management in protected or contractual areas, such as ecological management, compensatory measures under the Avoid-Reduce-Compensate-Support-Monitor sequence, green and blue infrastructure, assistance in taking nature into account in planning documents, policies in favour of endangered species, the setting up of European projects, biodiversity observatories, the Protected Areas Strategy, ZNIEFF inventories and the National Natural Heritage Inventory.

The approach to these elements is intended to be multidisciplinary within the limits of my understanding and involves biology, political science, taxonomy, sociology and land use planning in an approach that falls within the field of conservation geography.
