Protecting land and ensuring species survival

We offer concrete support in the development and implementation of land, aquatic, and marine conservation initiatives. Our team can assist you with wildlife and plant monitoring, ’characterizing land, marine and aquatic habitat, restoring degraded ecosystems, and developing inventory protocols.

Upon request, we provide a wide variety of customized training. We are also available to support you in creating protected areas on public or privatized land, from the initial planning stages to project completion. Additionally, we work to enhance the consideration of First Nations issues in government initiatives and programs related to nature conservation.
