Focus Environmental Consultants have extensive experience working with legally protected species.  Our portfolio includes a vast caseload of assignments in a variety of contexts including planning, development and conservation. Protected species surveys are commonly required to form a reliable basis for decision-making.  Surveys for legally protected species should only be undertaken by appropriately experienced and qualified ecologists. Focus Environmental Consultants has a highly-experienced in-house team with a full range of licenses to survey and mitigate for protected species.  We have a unique capacity to see projects through to completion with our sought-after mitigation (development) licence expertise.  We also offer a number of time-saving ‘fast-track’ licenses (known as Low Impact mitigation licenses), for the benefit of our clients.
