Nest boxes, insect hotels, hedges, ponds, ecological corridors... Document and promote every concrete action in favor of nature.
Actions are multiplying but remain scattered across files, reports, and spreadsheets.
Gather all biodiversity data in one place.
Locate each modification on an interactive map.
Document interventions and changes in habitats over time.
Highlight efforts to citizens and partners.
An operational mapping platform for inventorying and tracking biodiversity.
Record observations, photos, and locations directly on site, even without an internet connection.
Each item includes location, photos, observations, and a history of interventions over time.
Visualize all biodiversity-related actions on an interactive map shared among services and territory stakeholders.
Insect hotels, beehives, bee-friendly areas, and bee-friendly installations.
Nest boxes, bat houses, hedgehog shelters and animal biodiversity.
Field hedges, ecological ponds, thickets, and ecological corridors.
Remarkable trees, natural meadows and areas of renaturation.
Their population is threatened. Many territories are acting. KARTES Nature accompanies them.
Locate insect hotels, bee-friendly areas, and educational beehives on the territory.
Documenting installations, observations, and maintenance interventions.
Value initiatives and involve citizens in the protection of pollinators.
Deploy KARTES Nature to test the mapping of your biodiversity actions.
Initial Inventory
Mapping of existing insect hotels, hedges, ponds, and bee-friendly areas.
Field tracking
Recording new installations and tracking interventions.
Analysis & Reports

KARTES Nature natively integrates the official INPN, IGN, and ONF layers that field naturalists, ecologists, and ONF agents need. No more juggling with Géoportail or ministerial databases.
Sites of Community Importance (habitats) and Special Protection Zones (birds). Check compliance with Habitats and Birds directives.

Official data, automatically updated. The admin selects active layers per workspace, each agent displays them according to their needs.
Extensible catalog: we regularly add new layers and can integrate custom ones tailored to your business needs.
Everything you need to know before getting started with KARTES Nature.
Yes. KARTES Nature natively integrates official INPN/IGN layers: Natura 2000 SIC and ZPS, type I and II ZNIEFF, national parks, ONF biological reserves, classified sites, PPRN. Your agents can check the protection status of an area at a glance before each intervention, including offline thanks to the cache.
The application KARTES Nature is completely free, with no subscription or credit card required. It is made available as part of a territorial experiment, accessible to all local authorities, associations, and stakeholders committed to the biodiversity of their territory.
With KARTES Nature, your agents geolocate and photograph every biodiversity action from their smartphone: nest boxes, insect hotels, hedges, ponds, ecological corridors. The data aggregates on an interactive, shareable map among services and territory actors.
KARTES Nature is aimed at local authorities (municipalities, intermunicipalities, natural parks), environmental associations, green space managers, and any stakeholder wishing to inventory, monitor, and concretely promote actions in favor of biodiversity on their territory.
Nest boxes, insect hotels, beehives, bat houses, hedgehog shelters, hedgerows, ecological ponds, corridors, notable trees, natural meadows, renaturation areas... All tangible elements of biodiversity development and protection can be inventoried and monitored.
Yes, KARTES Nature operates in offline mode. Agents record observations, photos, and locations on-site without a network connection. Synchronization occurs automatically as soon as the connection is restored. Ideal for natural areas with no mobile coverage.
Each territory can share its inventories and indicators with other services, partner associations, or citizens. The mapping is collaborative and involves multiple stakeholders, which facilitates the coordination of biodiversity actions at the scale of a municipality or an intermunicipal community.
No, the interface is intentionally accessible. A record is created through photos and drop-down menus, without prior naturalist knowledge. The types of elements are pre-configured (nesting boxes, ponds, hedges...) and agents can add detailed notes and photos if needed.
Contact the team KARTES from the dedicated form to join the experiment. We support your community or association in getting started, configuring element types, and defining indicators tailored to your territorial challenges.
