Critical Habitat & Ecosystems
We conduct critical habitat assessments, habitat and ecosystem assessments and ecosystem services assessments that inform project design and permitting.

We apply the mitigation hierarchy — avoid, minimize, restore, and offset where appropriate — to ensure projects achieve no net loss or a net positive impact on biodiversity.
Conservation & Restoration
We develop Biodiversity Action Plans, conservation planning, restoration planning and ecological monitoring programmes that deliver measurable conservation outcomes.
