We provide the ecological surveys and assessments that let development and biodiversity conservation go together.
The name describes what we do: we connect the needs of people and projects with the needs of nature.
We help projects plan around the species and habitats on their sites, so that development can go ahead while biodiversity is looked after for the long term.
To provide high-quality ecological and environmental services worldwide that help conserve biodiversity and protect important habitats, and to help development and conservation work together for future generations.
Our team carries out biodiversity assessments using molecular analysis, wildlife tracking, acoustic studies and GIS mapping. We focus on accurate data and on recommendations that clients can put into practice.
“Our aim is for development and biodiversity conservation to go hand in hand.”
Ecologists, geospatial specialists and outreach partners who lead our surveys, research and community programmes.
Director
A QCI-NABET accredited ecology and biodiversity expert with more than 10 years of experience in India and the UK. Specialises in ecological field surveys, biodiversity assessment, Environmental Impact Assessment and GIS-based habitat classification aligned with DEFRA Biodiversity Net Gain, with particular strength in freshwater and marine zooplankton taxonomy and DNA barcoding.
GIS Advisory Board Member
Managing Director of Geospatial Campus and GIS Specialist at SysGlob Software Solutions, Kochi, with more than 17 years of GIS industry experience. Project work includes ISRO-guided assignments, municipal asset mapping, utility mapping for US and Saudi utilities, airport mapping for CIAL and water-security planning for Kerala panchayats.
Remote Sensing & AI Lead
PhD in Applied Geology, with research and teaching experience across GIS, remote sensing, geospatial data science and Geo-AI. A certified Python expert who leads curriculum design and GIS and Geo-AI training at Geospatial Campus.
Local Outreach Partner
An environmental activist and biodiversity conservationist with more than 20 years of work in Kerala on seed conservation, fruit forests, herbal gardens, mangrove awareness and sustainable living. He coordinated the Haritham Vypin project and takes students and residents on mangrove walks at the KUFOS research centre, Puthuvype. His awards include the Vanamitra Award from the Kerala Forest and Wildlife Department.
We use standard field survey methods together with newer techniques that detect more species and produce more reliable data.
DNA-based identification for rapid, multi-species biodiversity detection across habitats.
Bioacoustic monitoring for bat and bird surveys, which picks up species that are hard to see.
Telemetry and tracking to show how animals use and move through an area.
Habitat classification and land-use change analysis to set an accurate baseline.
Analysis of biological samples, including plankton collection, processing, species identification and counting.
Reliable methods, open data and honest findings that hold up when checked.
We recommend measures that actually conserve and improve biodiversity on the ground.
Plain reporting and recommendations that fit the project's timeline and budget.
Nisarg Setu runs its own programmes and works with partner organisations on nature walks and biodiversity awareness sessions for communities, schools, colleges and companies.
Participants learn to notice and identify the wildlife and plants around them, and why protecting local habitats matters. Would you like to join a walk, or host a programme for your group?
We are a remote-first company and work with clients in India and abroad.
We can meet by video call, visit your site, or agree on another arrangement that suits the project.
