19 projects are included in both the look back and 2020 impact reporting. (1) A project at the Esterre dam has elements of compliance with reserved flows and ecological continuity; it is therefore counted for the calculation of the indicators (2) for these two types of projects.

The impacts presented above are established on the basis of the following methodological principles: The indicator “number of protected wildlife species benefiting from the project” is established on the basis of the lists of target species of the works attached ● to their execution files or the watercourse classification decrees, and the analysis of EDF naturalist experts. As these operations mainly concern aquatic environments, only aquatic and semi-aquatic species are counted, although these projects generally benefit a wider range of animal and plant species. If a species benefits several projects, it is counted only once. The indicator “number of species targeted by partnerships” refers to species named in partnership agreements or activity reports (families of species are therefore ● not counted). Biodiversity partnerships cover a wide range of activities, from raising awareness to land management or carrying out naturalist inventories or ecological status diagnoses. The “area concerned” indicator is measured in hectares (ha). It corresponds to the surface area of projects involving the re-naturalisation or restoration of ● environments.
