Practice areas
Four areas, one body of evidence. We design biodiversity data that first enables permitting and operations, and then sustains audits, financing and corporate reports.
The four areas follow the project life cycle — baseline, operation, mitigation and reporting. Beneath all four runs the same measurement core.
Data is designed from the start to serve multiple decisions.
01
Characterisation of the site in its reference state — vegetation, flora, fauna, habitats. The zero point against which any future impact is measured, with habitat classification and IFC PS6 critical-habitat triggers. Adds social and community characterisation when the project requires it.
02
This is where much of the firm’s technical and scientific signature lives.
Distance Sampling for bird abundance and diversity; airspace use from vantage points; bird and bat fatality studies with PBR calculation; acoustic monitoring of bats and night birds. Adds monitoring of social aspects and communities when the project requires it. The accumulated series across campaigns is presented as an asset that grows stronger over time.
03
A hinge area.
Combines two complementary strands: wildlife impact management (e.g. mitigation of impact on southern right whales near port infrastructure) and ecological restoration applied to sites affected by energy and mining operations. The mitigation hierarchy — avoid, minimise, restore and offset — translates into restoration plans and offset schemes measured against no-net-loss / net-gain (IFC PS6 in critical habitat). Climate change appears here as a transversal lens: ecosystem restoration as part of the climate response.
04
Advisory to operators on structuring field data against disclosure frameworks: GRI 101, TNFD (LEAP approach, site by site), ESRS, IFRS S (ISSB) and footprint metrics (MSA). Advice on what evidence banks require for refinancing and new investment, and support for independent audits.
We don’t produce studies to file away. We design biodiversity evidence to make decisions, defend projects and sustain financing.
The four areas share one method. Let’s talk about where your project stands.
