Ecological Management

			Ecological Management We have managed in recent decades to leave quite an impact on our natural systems. As we learn more about the relationships between and amongst components of the environment and how they relate to large scale energy, carbon and nutrient cycles, we become better equipped and more adept at managing and restoring these natural habitats. Savanta brings a rich scientific capability to these efforts. We specialize in the development of approaches, best practice guidelines and project and program designs to advance conservation and restoration initiatives.
