Bahia Coast

Brazil

The Bahia Coast in Brazil contains sensitive and ecologically-

valuable habitats such as mangroves, coastal dunes, wetlands,

and Atlantic forest zones and despite a 1400 km² Environmental

Protection Area (APA Litoral Norte), the social cohesion and

character of the area was under pressure from tourism and

development.

We worked with the state authorities to develop and implement

an Environmental Management Plan which would preserve the

ecological value of the area at the same time as supporting

the development of a sustainable tourism industry that would

benefit the local community. Ensuring that the Brazilian

stakeholders maintain ownership of the EMP was key to its

successful implementation.

Neolithic Orkney, World Heritage Site

Scotland, United Kingdom

Orkney, in the north of Scotland is one of the world’s most important, prehistoric

sites. It is important to protect all the visual qualities both for heritage conservation

and to ensure a very special visitor experience. We prepared a detailed and

comprehensive analysis of the setting of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney WHS and

recommendations relating to the review of the buffer zone which protects the

views and historic context of the monument. The analysis was well received and will

be used to support the development of detailed supplementary planning guidance.
