ADDRESSING THE GLOBAL
BIODIVERSITY CRISIS
In recent years, AECOM has led the way in Biodiversity No Net
Loss and Net Gain, vital elements in addressing the global
biodiversity crisis. In 2019, AECOM ecologists published and
presented a paper at the Irish Ecological Association and also
at a lecture at Trinity College Dublin for the Chartered Institute
of Ecology and Environmental Management, to promote
greater understanding of policy and technical approaches in
Ireland, and supporting professional ecologists in delivering
meaningful benefits for biodiversity in Ireland.
