Services
Our services are divided into four main fields:
- Nature Conservation
- Sustainable Urban Planning and Architecture
- Environmental Education
- Ecotourism
The projects are developed in a holistic and interdisciplinary manner, in accordance with the specific demands of each project.
Nature Conservation
Projects are carried out with acknowledgment of existing natural values and the ecologic improvement, recovery and restoration of impacted areas, whilst integrating human activities in a sustainable manner.
- Coordination and implementation of nature conservation projects;
- Characterization studies of biological (fauna and flora) and geological values;
- Management of sensitive areas for biodiversity conservation;
- Preparation and implementation of natural values monitoring plans;
- Depleted areas recovery and ecological restoration;
- Ecological conceptualization and improvement of urban parks;
- Research on conservation biology;
- Research on compatibilization projects between human development and nature conservation;
- Visionary regional planning to enrich natural resources;
- Establishment and evaluation of visit routes and paths for ecotourism projects;;
- Environmental Impact Assessments.
Sustainable Urban Planning
and Architecture
Sustainable urban planning and architectural projects, developed using strategies and technologies for the creation of ecological, bioclimatic and energy efficient urban spaces and buildings, in order to harmonize human activity and the natural cycles of nature, under a self-regenerative process.
- Eco-urbanisation (transport systems, resources, land use, community and ecological structure);
- Green urban transport system;
- Ecological parking system;
- High-density urban structures with reduced environmental impact;
- Barrier-free design and accessibility in the city and buildings;
- Ecological buildings (low emissions, energy efficient, economically competitive and comfortable for users);
- Solutions and strategies for comfort and energy efficiency in buildings;
- Construction techniques utilising ecological building materials;
- Recovery and refurbishment of buildings and damaged structures;
- Social and cooperative housing;
- Temporary shelters for disaster situations;
- Architecture for sustainable development in developing countries;
- Development of biological and ecological materials technology for furniture and interior design.
Environmental Education
Projects and means for environmental sustainability awareness.
- Organization of sustainable development related events (lectures, seminars, workshops, etc.);
- Organization and coordination of continuous and advanced learning events;
- Environmental education and awareness programs;

Eco-tourism
These projects include:
- Surveying and characterization of natural values;
