Water Resource Management
Flood Management Services

Flooding of river basins and delta's offers, in a natural situation, the nutrient rich environment for fertile soils and a high biological production. That is why throughout the world most delta's are transformed to productive agricultural systems but at the same time form ecological hotspots and hold wetlands of international importance. Especially in river basins and delta's in transition, where the original flooding system is tamed, excessive...
Ecological Restoration
Species Re-Introduction Services

The extinction of species worldwide has received much attention recently, especially in 2010 the Year of Biodiversity. On a national or regional scale the loss of species directly influences the quality of ecosystems. Due to landscape and habitat fragmentation many terrestrial and/or slow moving species are hardly able to recolonise their former habitats, once local populations have been lost. Although the core habitats may be restored, often the...
Wetland Restoration Services

A&W has carried out many studies on habitat selection, breeding biology and foraging behavior of marsh breeding birds for many years now. Ecological studies and monitoring programs have been performed in various large-scaled wetlands, such as the Oostvaardersplassen and Lauwersmeer. Habitat models have been developed over the years by studying terrain quality and marsh bird ecology. This tool can be uses to determine limiting factors in...
Protected Area Management
Protected Area Management Services

Effective management of protected areas, such as National Parks, Hunting Protection Zones or Natura 2000 sites, is realised in the long term by a management system based on sound analysis of the ecological and socio-economic context of the area. This provides a management framework for its land, vegetation and wildlife, to be implemented by an adequate management body, which in turn needs to be balanced with a sustainable system of funding. A...
Collaborative Management Services

Biodiversity and natural resources are crucial conditions for the well being of mankind, contributing to employment, poverty reduction and a better environment. Conversely, conservation depends very much on the understanding and commitment of people to supporting sustainable development and to respecting their natural environment. Sustainable use and conservation are both benefiting from involving local communities where possible in resource...
Capacity Building Services

The key to adequate conservation for any organisation responsible for the management of protected areas is the performance of its staff, which is achieved through building an efficient organisation with motivated and effective people. Nature and conservation management asks several specific skills : the management of specific habitats and species (protection, ecological resoration, mitigation measures), monitoring of birds and other species, mapping...
Ecological Monitoring
Animal Population Surveys Services

We believe that all questions and advices regarding ecological issues should be based on sound ecological data. Whether you perform an Environmental Impact Assessment, design a plan for the ecological restoration of an area, or making a management plan for a protected area such as a Natura 2000-area, the work should be based on thorough knowledge on the distribution of habitats and the relevant species. The type of survey - censuses, mapping habitats,...
Design Of Monitoring Systems

Monitoring systems are powerful tools for decision-making and process control. Monitoring may, for example, be used to assess cost effectiveness of operations, effects of management measures, project progress, animal population trends, vegetation succession and other ecosystem changes. We believe that the actual monitoring of ecological assets and the measures taken add much to an efficient and effective management of protected areas. The data should...
Ecological Networks
Wildlife Crossings Services

The fragmentation of landscapes reduces the availability of suitable habitat and limits migration of terrestrial species. This is especially the case in densely populated areas or through the construction of roads and other infrastructures. The construction of wildlife crossings, small or large, links habitat patches thus creating a larger continuum. This applies also to fish passage systems to restore longitudinal fish migration. The design of...
Flyways and Migratory Birds

About a quarter of the 500 bird species breeding in Europe and adjacent Asia spend the winter in Sub-Saharan Africa. The major part of these birds show a negative population trend in the past decades. Recent studies have shown, that the wintering conditions in Africa, notably the Sahel, have several carry-over effects on the breeding birds in Europe. Also it becomes clear that an effective conservation of the internationally operating bird species can...
