What is a landscape-level plan for nature?
Landscape-level plans (also known as spatial plans) are dynamic blueprints for enhancing nature across landscapes. Going beyond biodiversity, landscape-level plans integrate ecological data, human dynamics, stakeholder values and economic factors.
Our approach to landscape planning creates ecosystems that thrive – with positive impacts on nature, community development and people’s wellbeing.

Key Elements of our Landscape Level Plans for Nature
Detailed Maps: Precision-Targeted Action Areas
Ideal for large infrastructure projects, these detailed maps strategically identify areas for intervention, focusing on regions most impacted by development. Our detailed maps are essential for mitigating environmental impact.
Biodiversity Focus: Data-Driven Ecological Insights
If you’re looking to invest in nature, our biodiversity-focused approach to landscape planning uses extensive social, economic and ecological data to identify areas where interventions can have the most significant impact, so you can promote biodiversity while benefiting your business.
Systematic Conservation Planning: Best Practice Approach
Our landscape plans are grounded in SCP - an international best approach for solving environmental problems that combines analysis and a social process to identify priority areas for natural capital action.
Stakeholder Analysis: Aligning Interests and Values
Essential for businesses engaging diverse parties in environmental strategies, our stakeholder analyses ensure that plans are inclusive. We’ll balance local community interest, regulatory requirements and your business’s objectives.
Cost Assessment: Balancing Financial and Ecological Returns
Our cost assessment provides insights into the financial impacts of nature restoration, enabling you to make cost-effective, well-informed decisions and ensure your investment has tangible benefits for nature. This is important for assessing the ROI of your landscape planning.
Synergistic Planning: Creating Coherent Ecosystem Strategies
If you’re aiming for more rigorous environmental impact, synergistic planning is key. It involves coordinating conservation activities so they complement each other, leading to more robust and resilient ecosystems.
