Focus on Geotrek's Sensitivity module
June 2024
Created in 2018 and designed by the LPO Isère, this module allows:
- to finely manage regulatory zones and sensitive zones in Geotrek,
- to provide information on the areas of biotope protection orders: location, regulation period, associated description, species, typology of practice, etc.,
- to automatically connect all nearby Geotrek objects..
What are the advantages?
When using Geotrek to navigate a route, the user is alerted if an environmental sensitivity area is nearby, informing them of the associated regulations.
This project aligns with the awareness and information objective that Geotrek wishes to achieve, a crucial issue in a context of increasing pressure on Biodiversity 🌳 🐦.

Over time, the Sensitivity module has become a national platform : Biodiv’Sport. You can enter sensitivity data on https://biodiv-sports.fr/, so that they are reported in any Geotrek, but also on other platforms: Camptocamp, Visorando, GeoRivière, etc.
Biodiv’Sport and the Sensitivity module perfectly illustrate collaboration between territories and the centralization of information in the service of biodiversity and public awareness.
It is also an example of the growing importance of an ecosystem of interconnected solutions, in which Geotrek plays an increasingly central role.
