Who We Work With
Ekoya works with organizations that shape, manage, depend on, or invest in landscapes. Each engagement is designed around the client’s decision context, available evidence, governance responsibilities, and implementation needs.
Governments & public agencies
Bringing nature into infrastructure, planning, climate, and investment decisions.
Who this includes
Municipalities, regional districts, provincial and federal agencies, parks and protected-area managers, public utilities, planning and climate departments, asset-management teams, and regional partnerships.
Common challenges
- Natural assets are missing from asset registers, plans, and budgets
- Climate and biodiversity goals lack a shared spatial evidence base
- Difficulty prioritising where to protect, restore, or invest
- Funding-readiness and monitoring requirements are hard to meet
How nature supports these decisions
Watersheds, urban forests, wetlands, and green infrastructure regulate water, cool communities, store carbon, and reduce risk — services that public budgets otherwise pay to replace.
How Ekoya helps
- Natural asset inventories & ecosystem-service mapping
- Climate adaptation & green-infrastructure planning
- Biodiversity & ecological-connectivity analysis
- Land-use policy support, monitoring & funding readiness
Typical outputs
Farmers, ranchers & agricultural organizations
Helping agricultural landscapes remain productive, resilient, and ecologically connected.
Empowering landscapes. Rewarding stewardship.
Who this includes
Individual farmers and ranchers, producer groups and cooperatives, commodity and agri-food organizations, agricultural research and extension groups, stewardship programs, and regional agricultural partnerships.
Common challenges
- Balancing production with soil, water, pollination, and biodiversity
- Understanding climate resilience and land-use change at landscape scale
- Accessing stewardship incentives and conservation funding
- Communicating environmental outcomes credibly
How nature supports these decisions
Soil, water, pollinators, and biodiversity are the working capital of a farm. Healthy landscapes buffer drought, flood, and heat and keep operations productive over time.
How Ekoya helps
- Agricultural natural-capital & ecosystem-service assessment
- Landscape-scale & production–conservation trade-off analysis
- Stewardship-incentive & conservation-funding support
- Monitoring & credible communication of outcomes

Landowners & natural-resource managers
Turning land and resource information into practical management priorities.
Who this includes
Private and institutional landowners, forestry and range managers, irrigation and watershed organizations, parks and protected-area managers, land trusts, utilities and infrastructure land managers, restoration organizations, and portfolio managers.
Common challenges
- Setting management and restoration priorities across large areas
- Understanding cumulative effects, ecological risk, and dependencies
- Connecting site-scale action to landscape-scale outcomes
- Tracking change over time
How nature supports these decisions
Forests, soils, water, and habitat are the resources these organizations depend on. Understanding their condition and connectivity turns land information into confident management decisions.
How Ekoya helps
- Management-priority & restoration planning
- Cumulative-effects & ecological-risk assessment
- Resource-dependency & connectivity analysis
- Site-to-landscape planning & monitoring
Typical outputs
Nature-dependent businesses & industry
Understanding where nature supports operations — and where action creates resilience.
Who this includes
Food and beverage, agriculture and agri-food, forestry, natural-resource operations, tourism and recreation, real estate and land development, infrastructure, utilities, renewable energy, institutions with significant land holdings, and businesses sourcing biological materials or exposed to land, water, climate, or biodiversity risk.
Common challenges
- Not knowing where operations depend on nature
- Exposure to land, water, climate, and biodiversity risk
- Pressure to plan nature-positive operations credibly
- Turning sustainability claims into evidence
How nature supports these decisions
Functioning ecosystems underpin sourcing areas, assets, workforces, supply chains, and long-term value. Screening these dependencies reveals both risk and opportunity.
How Ekoya helps
- Preliminary nature-dependency & risk screening
- Site, land-portfolio & sourcing-landscape analysis
- Natural-capital baselines & nature-positive planning
- Indicators & credible sustainability communication

Conservation, watershed & community organizations
Strengthening place-based conservation with shared evidence and implementation pathways.
Empowering landscapes. Rewarding stewardship.
Who this includes
Conservation organizations, watershed groups, land trusts, restoration partnerships, community organizations, foundations, regional collaborations, funders, and Indigenous governments and organizations where appropriate relationships, expertise, permissions, and project scopes are established.
Common challenges
- Building a shared spatial baseline across many partners
- Prioritising restoration and connectivity investments
- Designing fundable, measurable projects
- Communicating to the public and funders
How nature supports these decisions
Connected habitat, healthy watersheds, and resilient ecosystems are the shared assets that place-based organizations work to protect and restore.
How Ekoya helps
- Shared spatial baselines & ecosystem-service assessment
- Connectivity & restoration prioritisation
- Project design, funding concepts & partnership development
- Monitoring & public-facing communication
