Bird & Biodiversity Specialist

About

I assess and reduce biodiversity-related risks for projects that require environmental permits in accordance with Swedish legislation. I help clients with project development while minimising impacts on birds and other wildlife. I have extensive experience of consulting on renewable energy projects throughout the Nordics and civil infrastructure projects in Sweden, such as providing expert testimony, environmental permit advice and due diligence, as well as leading and carrying out species protection inquiries, ecological surveys and monitoring programmes.
