Introduction

Nature Advisory Services (NAS) is a UK-based consultancy SME assisting developers and planners integrate natural capital, biodiversity, and climate expertise into their operations, facilitating a transition toward Nature Positive and Net Zero goals. The business provides specialist strategic and project-level advisory services, including Natural Capital Assessments/Accounting, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) assessments, Nature-based Solutions (NbS), and training for self-sufficiency in sustainable practices.

NAS is combining natural capital, ecological economic, climate and biodiversity expertise to support clients on their challenging journey towards becoming Nature Positive and Net Zero. No matter how far an organisation has progressed on this journey, NAS can help you achieve your goals efficiently and effectively.

We utilise advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) models to inform our advice and services. We develop and use tailored AI-informed natural capital assessment and management tools to provide accurate and spatially-explicit outputs. We utilise AI-interpreted Satellite Imagery for baselining where appropriate. We also use AI as part of our rigorous Quality Assurance process such as for checking models and data inputs.

Whenever we utilise AI, we do this in a safe and transparent manner and never without the explicit written consent from your clients. We never rely on AI and AI-generated content is always reviewed by experts before shared with clients as deliverables.

Testimonials

I had the pleasure of working with Oliver across natural capital projects for nearly two years, and I can confidently say that he is exceptional. Oliver's deep knowledge in the field and his ability to communicate complex concepts clearly made him an invaluable asset to our projects.

The production of our Local Nature Recovery Strategy was greatly enhanced by the work Oliver undertook on natural capital. The resulting natural capital opportunity mapping has gone on to help inform the authority’s future land management decisions relating to our climate and ecological emergency strategy. Oliver’s work comes highly recommended.
