Environmental consulting integrates multiple disciplines to navigate the complex interplay between projects and their environmental contexts. It involves collaboration among experts in biology, sociology, and physical sciences, as well as architects, engineers, and construction professionals, to address daily environmental industry challenges. These experts play a crucial role in a variety of projects, deciphering interaction between humans and their natural surroundings to identify, examine, and address intricate issues.
