ENVIRONMENTAL LITIGATION

Holistic ecological expertise
OUR FOCUS
Great Ecology provides scientific consulting services for environmental cases throughout the United States.
As one of the few consultants retained by both government trustees and private sector clients, we bring a unique insight to environmental cases that informs our balanced perspectives and guides our innovative processes.
With a deep understanding of ecosystems, we comprehensively assess, quantify, and address environmental injuries while developing ecological remedies.
Our holistic approach to injury assessment considers not just the products of an ecosystem, but also the processes that generate these products. By considering human, wildlife, and habitat stakeholders, we provide a more accurate accounting of lost ecosystem value.
