Environmental Planning & Resource Management
Technical Explanation
This involves studies and plans focused on sustainable use of natural resources and long-term environmental planning. It might include land-use planning with ecological constraints, watershed management plans, climate adaptation strategies for a region, or natural resource management plans (for forests, wetlands, etc.). The service merges environmental science with planning to guide development or conservation in a balanced way.
Main requirements
Required for strategic planning initiatives – e.g. a city’s master plan integrating green spaces, or an agriculture development needing a soil and water management plan. Needs analysis of environmental data (GIS mapping of resources, climate data) and stakeholder input (e.g. communities, government). It usually results in a plan or policy document that decision-makers use to manage resources sustainably (balancing development needs with environmental protection).
