Each project site is threatened, or stressed, in a particular way. Some examples include the reduction or fragmentation of that habitat, changes in the natural flow patterns of waterways, or changes in the number of species found in that forest, grassland or coral reef. As part of our Conservation by Design process, the stresses impacting a particular project site are identified and specific strategies are devised to address them.
