Ecosystem Preservation & Biodiversity Management
ESAC offers a comprehensive suite of services encompassing Ecological Surveys, Habitat Assessment and Restoration, Ecosystem
Management, Invasive Species Management, Aquatic Ecology Studies, and Biodiversity Conservation Management. These services are
designed to assess, restore, and sustainably manage ecosystems and habitats, protect biodiversity, and mitigate the impacts of
invasive species, all aimed at ensuring the preservation and health of natural environments.
Ecological Surveys
Thorough Planning and Preparation: Define clear
objectives, scope, and methodologies before conducting
surveys. Utilize existing data to inform survey design.
Use of Standardized Methods: Employ standardized data
collection methods to ensure consistency, reliability, and
comparability of data over time and across different
locations.
Incorporation of Technological Tools: Leverage technology
such as GIS, remote sensing, and drones for accurate data
collection and analysis
Aquatic Ecology Studies
Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM): Adopt
an IWRM approach that considers the interconnectivity of
land, water, and ecosystems
Monitoring and Evaluation: Implement systematic
monitoring and evaluation frameworks to assess the
health and function of aquatic ecosystems
Stakeholder Engagement: Engage with local communities,
stakeholders, and experts in the planning and
implementation of studies to ensure relevance and
applicability of findings
Ecosystem Management
Adaptive Management: Utilize an adaptive management
approach that allows for the adjustment of management
strategies based on monitoring and feedback.
Ecosystem Approach to Management (EAM): Apply EAM
principles that are explicit about managing human
activities, based on the best available knowledge, and aim
for sustainable use without compromising ecosystem
integrity.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Foster collaboration across
disciplines to integrate ecological, social, and economic
considerations in management decisions
Invasive Species Management
Prevention and Early Detection: Prioritize prevention and
early detection of invasive species to avoid costly
eradication efforts.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Employ IPM
strategies that combine biological, chemical, mechanical,
and cultural control methods to manage invasive species
effectively and sustainably
Community Involvement: Engage local communities in
detection, monitoring, and management efforts to
enhance the success of invasive species management
programs
Habitat Assessment and Restorations
Baseline Assessments: Conduct comprehensive baseline
assessments to understand the current state and
historical context of habitats.
Restoration Planning: Develop strategic restoration plans
that are informed by baseline assessments and tailored to
specific ecosystem needs and goals.
Monitoring and Adaptive Management: Implement
monitoring to assess restoration success and adapt
management practices as needed to achieve desired
outcomes
Biodiversity Conservation Management
Conservation Prioritization: Identify and prioritize key
biodiversity areas for conservation based on
ecological significance and threat levels.
Protected Areas and Corridors: Establish and manage
protected areas and ecological corridors to preserve
critical habitats and facilitate species movement.
Community-based Conservation: Promote
community-based conservation initiatives that
involve local communities in the stewardship of
biodiversity.
