Species Protection
Consider species protection early. Plan with confidence.
We survey and assess relevant species and habitats, identify potential conflicts with species protection requirements early, develop appropriate measures and provide specialist support throughout all planning stages -
with a practical, legally compliant and responsible approach.
Species Protection
Screening & Assessment
We support project developers with species protection requirements under the German Federal Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG). We survey relevant species, assess habitat suitability, analyse potential conflicts and develop appropriate avoidance, mitigation and CEF measures.
Our Service:
-
Species Surveys & Habitat Assessments:
Surveys of birds, bats, amphibians, reptiles and other mammals, with an assessment of potential conflicts under Section 44 BNatSchG.
-
Natura 2000 Assessments:
Screening and appropriate assessments of potential impacts on protected sites and their conservation objectives.
-
CEF Measures & Protection Strategies:
Planning and technical support for advance measures to maintain ecological functionality (CEF), alongside other avoidance and mitigation measures.
-
Monitoring & Reporting:
Documentation, evaluation and technical reporting of species protection survey findings.
-
Advice & Training:
Specialist advice and practical training on species protection requirements.
Ecological Site Supervision
& Mitigation Planning
Through ecological site supervision, we support the correct implementation of nature conservation requirements during construction. We inspect work areas, assess potential conflicts and oversee protection and CEF measures in close coordination with site management, authorities and project stakeholders.
Our Services:
-
Ecological Site Checks:
Inspection and ecological sign-off of work areas in line with species protection requirements.
-
Specialist Site Supervision:
Monitoring compliance with nature conservation conditions during construction.
-
Conflict Assessment & Protection Measures:
Assessment of site conditions and adaptation of appropriate avoidance and mitigation measures.
-
Monitoring & Documentation:
Regular inspections, documentation and reporting on construction progress.
-
CEF Measures & Coordination:
Support for advance CEF measures and technical coordination with site management, authorities and project stakeholders.
