Nature & Biodiversity

We have a team of in-house experts and specialized experienced external associates, which consists of biologists, ornithologists, habitats, fauna and flora experts, zoologists, experts in Protected Areas and National Parks Management, experts in environmental economics and environmental engineers.

Our team has a considerable experience in elaborating Management Plans for Protected Areas (Natura 2000 network), implementing Appropriate Assessment Studies and has supported the Competent Authorities to implement and comply with the EU legislation framework (mainly Habitats 92/43/EEC and Birds 2009/147/EC Directives).

Appropriate Assessment (AA) of the potential adverse effects of a plan or project on Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protection Areas (Natura 2000 network), is also our expertise. The AA study is streamlined with the EIA/SEA processes, and it is implemented using the latest methodological EU guidances on the provisions of Article 6(3) and (4) of the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC.

More specifically, the services provided are:

  • Protected Areas Management Plans
