Abzeco recently worked with PF Olsen (Australia) to develop the Landscape Biodiversity Improvement Plan (LBIP) for a client by reviewing all the biodiversity information we held and synthesizing it into a prioritised ten-year management plan.  Abzeco’s advice focused investment to areas that will generate the most impact to improve biodiversity values and which in turn create values for our client. 


The summary of priorities identified are outlined in our Environment and Sustainability Public Summary Report.

A good example of this work was the removal of woody weeds within the highest priority patch of natural forest at surrounding Eaglehawk plantation.
