About Our Business
Connecting Ecology Ltd emerged from the fusion of the Sustainability Research Institute at the University of East London and the Connecting Nature EU Horizon 2020 project.
We have over 15 years of experience collaborating with a diversity of stakeholders from industry, local and national government, government agencies, and not-for-profit organisations, on a range of nature-based solution projects.
Through these collaborations, we have gained a detailed understanding of nature-based solution planning, delivery and legacy processes. We embed this understanding into our research & consultancy to ensure that nature-based solutions are able to fulfil their potential in increasing biodiversity and delivering the ecosystem services that benefit mankind.
