Approach & Philosophy

ECO-resolutions works at the intersection of the human and natural environment to minimize and mitigate the effects of infrastructure on landscape connectivity and wildlife movements. ECO-resolutions is committed to working with clients to identify, prioritize, and develop solutions that offer the greatest benefits for wildlife and people. We understand that there are no one size fits all solutions and believe that the best strategies are rooted in a scientific understanding of wildlife populations and behavior in the context of the human landscape. At ECO-resolutions, we challenge ourselves to find the best possible solutions balancing societal needs and interests to inspire stewardship and ensure the long-term health of our wildlife populations and ecosystems.
