Biodiversity and Ecological Services

Service Overview

Biodiversity and Ecological Services from Green Vertex support developers, industrial operators and government clients working on or near Saudi Arabia's coastlines. We combine baseline ecological surveys of flora and fauna with dedicated marine biodiversity and habitat assessments to inform Environmental Impact Assessment, permitting and ongoing environmental monitoring.

Development and industrial projects increasingly require robust ecological evidence to secure approvals and manage biodiversity risk. Our ecologists combine field survey techniques with GIS mapping and recognized assessment frameworks to give you a defensible picture of the flora, fauna and habitats present on your site.
