Environment

Mott MacDonald has helped the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in safeguarding the future wellbeing of the elusive snow leopard species in both Siberia and MongoliaAcross the Group our environmental activities range from assessing the impacts of major international and trans-national construction projects to designing brownfield restoration schemes to conservation and biodiversity enhancement projects in tropical rainforests.

The experience of our staff are in demand for the establishment of business policy and strategy, and for advising on environmental risks and liabilities during mergers and acquisitions. We take pride in the integration of environmental considerations with all our work. It is an intrinsic part of our culture to achieve a balance of environmental considerations within infrastructure projects, especially as part of the early planning or EIA process.

Illustrating the range of our capabilities are these two projects:

• planning for the tunnel beneath the Devil’s Punchbowl on the road between London and the south coast of England, to restore the area to its natural beauty while avoiding pollution of local water resources and protecting vulnerable species
• helping understand and better protect the rich biodiversity of West Tien Shan’s unique national parks
