Scientific R&D Company

SIGMA-VISION.COM, through its SIGNÉCO division, is the first independent private scientific research and development organization dedicated to biodiversity preservation and to responsible, sparing use of natural resources. A true field laboratory, we carry out our work with complete independence, without relying on public or nonprofit funding.

This site opens the door to our network of committed contributors (ecologists, ecotoxicologists, wildlife photographers, and eco-hikers) who combine their skills to observe, understand, and document living things at the heart of natural environments.

What's more, purchasing a SIGNÉCO (Live, Events, or Store) license directly helps fund our field research. A concrete, transparent, and responsible commitment that allows us to build a self-sustaining economic model, ensuring the longevity and impact of our work.

From intention
to action...

This portal dedicated to nature is best described as a dynamic, living portfolio rather than a set of standard pages. It is enriched with photographs drawn from our fieldwork, all aimed at protecting biodiversity. Through our pages, our perspectives, and our work, we remind visitors that while biodiversity is resilient, it remains deeply fragile.

Any use, reproduction, or distribution of these images is strictly prohibited without the explicit consent of the respective photographers.

Scientists
in the field!

Here, you will find only images of wildlife and flora from our community. All photographs presented were taken during our missions out in nature, never in a zoo, garden, or botanical museum. The image hunter's approach rests precisely on this principle: setting out to encounter wild authenticity and capturing, with patience and respect, the moment exactly as it is.

For the luckiest — or most tenacious — it sometimes happens that the encounter of a lifetime occurs just around the bend of a trail. Those who persevere in this pursuit of nature sometimes experience the moment that transforms their outlook and redefines their approach to photography. It is this rare and fleeting moment that we strive to convey to you throughout these pages.

Finally, we want to make this clear: no image presented on this portal is generated or altered by artificial intelligence. Even when certain scenes seem improbable, they are authentic and true, direct witnesses to reality and the richness of the living world.

Contrairement à d'autres orgnanismes, entreprises ou encore associations chez nous tous nos bénéfices sont réinvestis dans d'autres actions viables pour la faune et la flore.
The initiators of this project...

A viable alternative to inaction

Did you know that since the year 2000, 1,406 species have probably already gone extinct but have not yet been officially declared so?

Extinction is happening faster than science can document it: more than one species per week over the past 25 years!

Faced with this reality, one idea became obvious: go back to basics and open a scientific research institution that is simple, rigorous, and true to its commitments. Built to drive concrete action and share best practices, relying on the people already getting involved...

This initiative was born from the meeting of Pascale and Gabriel: one passionate about eco-design and group action, the other about "wild" nature and effective action, both always connected to the protection of living things. And since the work needed doing, it might as well benefit as many people as possible.

That is why, in 2025, they both sold their houses to fund SIGMA-VISION's green transformation, giving it the means to become a genuine scientific research and development institution focused on action!


Our reports currently being written...

Trip
to Costa Rica

Pascale LEFEBURE, biologist and expert at SIGNÉCO, traveled to Costa Rica from January 1, 2026 to March 15, 2026. This trip is part of an in-depth study of a country recognized as a global benchmark for low-carbon policy and sustainable tropical forest management.

Through on-the-ground immersion and exchanges with local stakeholders, this mission aims to analyze exemplary models that reconcile biodiversity protection, reforestation, responsible ecotourism, and sustainable economic development. The lessons drawn from this experience will directly inform ongoing reflections and actions.

Trip to japan

Pascale LEFEBURE, biologist and expert at SIGNÉCO, traveled to Japan in 2024 to visit Picchio Nature Park. This trip had a dual purpose: to observe the famous Japanese flying squirrel, an emblematic and elusive species, and above all to closely study the management model of a fully self-funded nature park.

This immersive experience made it possible to analyze innovative practices that reconcile biodiversity preservation, public awareness, and economic self-sufficiency — valuable lessons that now inform the reflection and actions carried out by SIGNÉCO in the field.
