Environmental Science
& Ecology Services

The ecosystems of Aotearoa New Zealand are globally unique. Morphum’s understanding of these ecosystems comes from our team of leading experts in the flora and fauna of our beautiful country.

We work with plants and wildlife from both terrestrial and freshwater environments, with several of New Zealand’s leading published ecology consultants a part of the Morphum team.

We’ve performed ecological research, furthering our understanding of these species and ecosystems, and we use this first-hand experience to help create sustainable outcomes for our natural world.

Morphum’s experts on the investigation and management of contaminated soil help prevent harmful substances from reaching workers, communities, future landowners and the surrounding environment.

If a site has been used, or has potentially been used, for industry or activities that involve probable ground contamination, then it’s very likely an investigation will be required.

As part of this process, we investigate potentially contaminated land and plan any remediation of the site, giving our clients the piece of mind that their next steps will result in positive outcomes and removing risk from ongoing issues.

Morphum's founding goal is to co-create a thriving ecosystem for generations to come. Restoring what has degraded or been lost is core to achieving this goal, and as part of our catchment services, we aim to rehabilitate degraded areas, enhance biodiversity and improve water quality.

Our work enhances mauri and restores balance to these areas, through our work in developing adaptable engineering and scientific solutions to the issues facing our natural spaces.

Our clients come to Morphum to receive Environmental Management Plans (EMP's) that are right, first time.

Our best practice approach includes identifying risks, ensuring compliance with regulations, setting measurable targets, and tracking and reporting performance, all helping mitigate negative impacts.

This reduction in waste, pollution and staff incidents leads to lowered operational costs for the site and increased buy-in from stakeholders and communities.

With so many variables involved in our environment, the policies created to protect and restore are often just as complex.

Morphum not only helps interpret environmental policy, but we consult and provide data that informs these policies as third-party experts.

Our consultation in this space offers us greater insight into how to interpret and implement national and local government policy, so we can help our clients understand what this means for their project, assets and organisation.
