Terrain Consulting works across the full arc of a conservation project — from reading the land and its ecology, to bringing people to the table, to proving the impact once the work is done. Each service stands on its own or combines into a single programme.
Every voice at the table.
We map who holds a stake and who holds a right, design engagement that people actually trust, and facilitate the consultations where real decisions get made.
Specialist areas: rightsholder and stakeholder mapping · CBNRM · power dynamics and social licence to operate · Theory of Change · governance mapping and decision-rights clarity.
Evidence that holds up in the field.
We support environmental decision-making with credible evidence, environmental assessment and field-informed conservation experience, helping clients turn ecological information into practical recommendations.
Specialist areas: environmental impact assessment · environmental evidence review · biodiversity and conservation considerations · field-informed assessment and recommendations
Impact you can evidence.
We help organisations strengthen how they define, measure and communicate environmental and social impact — developing reporting and policy frameworks that are credible, practical and aligned with recognised standards.
Specialist areas: impact reporting · ESG frameworks · IRIS+ alignment · Operating Principles for Impact Management · biodiversity policy · animal-welfare policy development
Build capability that lasts.
We design and facilitate practical training for conservation teams and protected-area leaders working in complex stakeholder environments, turning frameworks into tools people can actually use in the field.
Specialist areas: stakeholder engagement training · community engagement · facilitation · governance and decision-making · Theory of Change
Conservation challenges rarely sit neatly inside one service. If you're working across environmental evidence, stakeholder relationships or implementation, let's talk about what the project actually needs.
