Last December, the Court of Appeal suspended the controlled hunting of deer that currently overpopulate the famous Michel-Chartrand Park in Longueuil. The case will have to be […]
WHAT IS BIODIVERSITY?
The term biodiversity comes from biological diversity and refers to the variety of organisms, species and ecosystems that inhabit our planet. When we talk about biodiversity, everyone has a role to play, from the microorganisms buried in the […]
Starting this Wednesday, December 7th, Montreal will host the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations until December 19th. This conference will focus on the Convention on Biological Diversity, which was first signed in 1992 at the […]
T2 Environnement recently had the chance to welcome Audrey Foisy-Morissette to its team. She graduated from the Université du Québec à Rimouski as a biologist and obtained a college diploma in bioecology at the Cégep Sainte-Foy. Since obtaining her university […]
In order to reverse the degradation of waterways and wetlands on the territory of Otterburn Park city, T2 Environnement and the Institut de recherche en biologie végétale de l’Université de Montréal (IRBV) are developing a research project aimed at proposing […]
Phytoremediation is a soft decontamination technique that exploits the natural capacities of plant species, algae (phycoremediation), but also fungi (mycoremediation) to degrade, store or immobilize a wide range of contaminants present in their environment (air, water and soil) [1].
Four phytoremediation […]
Phytotechnologies involve the use of living plants to solve environmental problems. The plants are selected and implanted to achieve specific objectives, such as:
Air, water and/or soil remediation
Erosion and runoff control
Wind speed reduction
Heat reduction
Greenhouse gas sequestration
Phytotechnologies are numerous: they include the […]
Ecological restoration is an intentional action that initiates or accelerates the recovery of an ecosystem’s function, integrity and sustainability. Ecological restoration thus re-establishes the mechanisms for abiotic support of the biological components of the environment[1]. The success of an ecological […]
Ms. Amandine Bonet, PhD, recently joined the T2 Environment team. Holding a doctorate specializing in water-soil and environment interactions and a master’s degree in environmental health specializing in toxicology in 2019, Amandine allows T2 to broaden and deepen its services […]
For several years, urban, industrial or agricultural development has caused a significant degradation of ecosystems, leading to various consequences, notably on biodiversity. However, these ecosystems are essential for the services they provide. Healthy ecosystems not only supply us with many […]

Comment restaurer une ancienne mine de fer?
Given the popularity of the wetland soil training that Hugo gave last year, the Association des biologistes du Québec (ABQ) is doing it again this year with new dates! In addition, for those who desire to perfect their knowledge of […]
Did you know that we had several carnivorous plants in Quebec?
Here is one called the northern pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea). The preys (flies and other small insects) are attracted by the colours of the pitcher plant and settle on it. […]
