SER International and SER Europe
The Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) International is a non-profit organization infused with the energy of 2300 members – individuals and organizations who are actively engaged in ecologically-sensitive repair and management of ecosystems through an unusually broad array of experience, knowledge sets and cultural perspectives. They are scientists, planners, administrators, ecological consultants, first peoples, landscape architects, philosophers, teachers, engineers, natural areas managers, writers, growers, community activists, and volunteers, among others.
The roles of SER Europe are to promote ecological restoration as a means of sustaining the diversity of life on Earth and re-establishing an ecologically healthy relationship between nature and culture in the European geographical area.

IMEP, Mediterranean Institute of Ecology and Palaeoecology
The main goal of the IMEP is to elucidate how ecosystems, especially those in the Mediterranean Basin, are shaped by interactions between local disturbances and global constraints. Patterns of biodiversity are being investigated at our institute on various timescales and spatial scales, focusing in particular on the vulnerability of ecological systems and species. Our Institute is involved in the management of natural resources, in close collaboration with regional, national and international networks dedicated to the protection of natural resources. Members of the IMEP also carry out University lecturing activities in the fields of biology, ecology and environmental science, at Bachelor’s and Master’s degree level. The IMEP also provides occupational training in research in both the public and private sectors, and strongly favours interdisciplinary approaches. The IMEP focuses mainly on the Mediterranean Basin, but keeps the whole world in sight.

REVER, French National Network on Ecological Restoration
REVER is the acronym for the French-speaking network on ecological restoration. Created thanks to CNRS / CEMAGREF funds promoting networks in 2008-09, its aim is to improve communication between managers, practitioners, students and scientists working in the fields of restoration ecology and / or ecological restoration.

WWF, World Wildlife Fund (France)
WWF is one of the worldwide conservation organizations. It’s mission is to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by conserving the world’s biological diversity, ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable and promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption. As the importance of degraded lanscape (for both biodiversity and ressources) continues to grow, the need to integrate the restoration of forest functions into landscape conservation plans become more pregnant. Thus, WWF has made forest landscape restoration a key topic and priority for its forest work together with protected areas and sustainable management. Due to the WWF’s extensive global reach, and together with its many partners and counterparts, it has acquired a significant level of experience on the topic of forest restoration at large scales in various part of the world. WWF run restoration programs in many countries. It has coordonated publications to gather the collective body of knowledge and experience of WWF and its many partners (Mansourian et al. 2005). In France, WWF participates to the restoration efforts particularly in New Caledonia (dry tropical forest), Madagascar (tropical humid forest) or the Mediterranean areas.

General Council of Vaucluse
The department is named after Vallis Closa, the "closed valley" from which emerges Fountain Vaucluse, the source of river Sorgue. Fountain Vaucluse is known by hydrologists worldwide as the model of "Vauclusian resurgence". The department of Vaucluse was created as the 87th French department by Decree of 25 June 1793. The area surface is 3 567 square kilometers. The population count is of 533 000 persons. The density of the population is 149 persons by square meter. The General Council of Vaucluse integrates 3 Districts, with 24 sub districts. You will find 151 Town Halls under the General Council Vaucluse. More information :- General Council of Vaucluse
Tour du Valat Research Fundation
La Tour du Valat, located on a 2600ha estate in the heart of the Camargue, is a private research organization with the legal form of a public-benefit foundation since 1978. Convinced that wetlands can be preserved only if human activities and the protection of the natural heritage can be reconciled, the Tour du Valat has been developing multidisciplinary research programmes for more than 50 years on ecology and management of Mediterranean wetlands. The Tour du Valat shares with Ramsar and other organizations in the Mediterranean region the mission to halt the loss and the degradation of Mediterranean wetlands and of their natural resources, and to restore them. The Tour du Valat employs around 60 staff including a scientific team made of 30 specialists in biological sciences (plant ecology, ornithology, ichthyology …), hydrology, geography, socio-economics, integrated management and training. The team implements research and conservation projects throughout the Mediterranean region. The results are communicated via training, partnerships, and the implementation of innovative projects carried out in collaboration with a wide range of partners. The Tour du Valat Estate includes all the natural habitats representative of central Camargue among which 1844ha benefit from the status of Regional Nature Reserve. In addition to biodiversity conservation, the estate is used as an experimental site for research on management of wetlands and as a show case for transfer of results. The Tour du Valat, has a unique bibliographical resource centre in the Mediterranean, specialized in Wetlands Ecology, Ornithology, Zoology, Mammalogy, Ichtyology, Herpetology, Botany. Each year, hundreds of researchers, teachers and students from the Mediterranean basin come and consult the library's reference materials. More information : Tour du Valat
GRT Gaz Company
GRTgaz’s environmental policy covers the legal requirements in numerous fields of environmental protection: air, water, waste, noise, energy, natural heritage. GRTgaz applies these requirements in its different industrial activities (compressor stations and transmission facilities for GRTgaz) and administrative functions (offices, vehicles, procurement, etc.). This policy is implemented through appropriately planned initiatives designed to achieve environmental objectives covered in the component processes of the management system. GRTgaz also works to reduce the environmental impact from engineering works and from the operation of its facilities. More information : GRT Gaz

The Ecosystem engineering applications group
The Ecosystem engineering applications group (Groupe d’application de l’ingénierie des ecosystems – Gaié) develops & promotes the science and practice of ecological engineering.
AgéBio: French Association of bioengineering for soil erosion control
Bioengineering corresponds to the techniques and strategies using plants for soil erosion control and management. It aims at achieving objectives of restoration, rehabilitation or reaffectation of eroded areas. The aim of this association is to promote the use of such techniques in
