Biodiversity Sensitivity Mapping

Biodiversity sensitivity mapping can provide invaluable insights for spatial planning and site selection. Detailed heat maps highlighting areas of high biodiversity sensitivity enable government planners and project developers to avoid/minimise project impacts and optimise use of land and sea areas. This data driven approach, when combined with information on social sensitivity and technical constraints on development, has proven to be valuable for the sustainable rollout of renewable energy such as solar, onshore and offshore wind farms.
