Nature and Biodiversity

Research, Protection, and a Sustainable Future

Verkís offers professional and responsible consultancy, research, and monitoring services related to birdlife and vegetation. The aim is to ensure that development takes place in harmony with natural environments and supports sustainable development.

Development projects can have both permanent and temporary impacts on bird populations. Permanent impacts are mainly associated with habitat loss, such as nesting and feeding areas, while temporary impacts relate to disturbance during construction. Infrastructure such as power lines, wind turbines, and buildings can also increase the risk of bird collisions.

Verkís conducts bird surveys, assesses breeding density, evaluates habitat conditions, and analyses collision risk. Following construction, the company can also carry out monitoring, including changes in bird abundance and distribution, collision assessments, and related analyses. In addition, Verkís provides advisory services for bird-related issues, including those occurring at airports and in urban areas.

Vegetation studies focus on establishing baseline conditions of flora and vegetation in project areas prior to development. Emphasis is placed on habitat mapping and plant species identification in order to assess ecological value, conservation importance, and Red List status. Verkís specialists carry out field surveys, develop habitat maps, and analyse results. Potential impacts on vegetation and ecosystems are assessed, and where necessary, mitigation measures and monitoring plans are proposed.

Verkís places strong emphasis on professional methodology, detailed analysis, and responsible standards in all environmental research and impact assessments, ensuring that development is aligned with natural conditions, landscape values, and sustainable development principles.
