Environmental monitoring provides a systematic way to record, analyze, and evaluate biotic and abiotic environmental parameters. We design and implement scientifically robust monitoring programs that are tailored to a wide variety of ecological questions and technical requirements. This enables us to deliver reliable assessments of species populations, environmental conditions, dynamic processes, and ecological interrelationships in natural and landscape settings.

Using state-of-the-art measurement and survey methods—ranging from automated sensor systems and georeferenced drone flights to standardized field techniques such as traditional mapping—we generate high-quality datasets for approval procedures, environmental impact assessments, nature and wildlife conservation, and for maintenance, development, and compensation measures.

Our monitoring concepts support public authorities, planners, and project developers in identifying environmental changes at an early stage, managing measures effectively, and ensuring the long-term functionality and resilience of ecological systems.
