WHAT IS WCP? |
|
 The
Wildlife Conservation Partnership was established in 1998 as an
ecological consultancy capable of undertaking work and project
management on behalf of large organisations as well as clients with more
limited resources, such as charities.
It consists of a small dedicated team of wildlife management and research consultants able to act for a wide variety of clients in the public and private sectors. These include, national and local Government organisations, Government Agencies, businesses, development companies, charitable trusts, landowners and their agents and private individuals. |

WHAT DOES IT DO? |
|
| The Partnership primarily undertakes work involving research and restoration of species and habitats, balancing the needs of development with those of the environment. Written reports including findings and recommendations, are provided to clients in a form which can, if necessary , be presented at Public Appeal. When protected species and habitats are involved, mitigation, legal advice and compliance are fully addressed. | |

Partnership has particular experience with birds. Its Senior Partner is
an expert on owls and other birds of prey and can prepare Proofs of

itself on a high standard of work from innovative project design,
effective implementation, reporting and the undertaking of conservation
projects in the field. Subsequent monitoring is often an important part
of its work enabling clients to audit the success of their projects

habitats or biodiversity in general.
