Habitat Mapping
Clear ecological and land-use maps that communicate habitat, risk and change for approvals, planning and stakeholder reporting.
Overview
Maps are how ecological evidence is read by people who will not open the dataset. A habitat or risk map has to show the pattern, the date and the decision it supports, without implying more precision than the data holds.
How we approach it
Okala produces ecological and land-use maps for permitting, planning and stakeholder reporting. Layers are chosen for that audience: habitat, constraint, change, or a simple overview. Symbology and legends are part of the work, not an afterthought.
What we deliver
- Habitat and land-use maps designed for a named decision
- Risk and change layers with method and date on the sheet
- Versions for technical annexes and for non-technical readers
- Source data and a short note on what was generalised
- Exports for print, slide and GIS use
What you receive
You get maps that can go into a report without a designer rebuilding them, plus the files if your GIS team needs to carry the layer forward.
When you need it
You need maps when habitat, risk or land-use change has to be shown clearly in a permit, a plan or a stakeholder meeting.
