Federal and State regulations strive to protect our nation’s natural resources. This also includes protecting endangered and threatened species.

Legislation, such as the National Environmental Policy Act, provides mechanisms for protection and preservation of endangered and threatened species affected by development projects.

An endangered and threatened species assessment generally involves an assessment as to whether the subject property is a habitat for an endangered or threatened species.

Botanists with PELA have performed endangered and threatened species assessments throughout the U.S. with a particular emphasis on karst terranes, where many endangered species live.

Whether threatened or endangered wildlife or plants is a concern, PELA professionals and associates have the knowledge and expertise to perform the necessary assessments.
