**AgroParisTech (centre de Montpellier) -** Département SESG - UFR Gestion de l'Environnement **Laboratoire:** Montpellier Recherche en Management (MRM) - Université de Montpellier **Courriel:** clement.feger@agroparistech.fr ***Research in accounting and business models for the management of ecosystems*** My research interests are at the crossroads of three crucial innovation fronts for renewing the collective governance of the planet’s ecosystems: (1) the design and use of new **ecosystem and natural capital assessment tools** by conservation scientists and practitioners; (2) the design and development of **new ecological accounting frameworks and models at the level of ecosystems**; (3) the **contribution of the private sector to natural capital protection** and maintenance. To relate these three domains of innovation to one another, I have been mobilizing **management science, and especially qualitative critical accounting research**, as a pivot to connect ecosystem services information systems and tools, diverse forms of collective action for ecosystem governance, and private sector initiatives and accounting innovations. I have a strong preference for **research-action methods**, in which results come from a combination between original theoretical constructions and practitioners’ inputs and needs. I have conducted research-action with business actors (Suez Waters), environmental NGOs (WWF), and public institutions. I pursue the development of a **new accounting model centered on the collective management of ecosystems**. I have also developed research on the design of new **business models** **for biodiversity management** activities by environmental sector firms. Other areas of research include **experimenting ecosystem services mapping tools** in concrete multi-stakeholders settings (e.g. Bordeaux) as well as the development of an original **ecosystem management context diagnostic approach** based on social science theories and useful for conservation actors engaged in complex situations in the field.
