Find

The first step in Tellus’ end-to-end service is to find the most suitable opportunities as fast as possible. This begins with a consultancy period to understand your organisation's environmental objectives, from which we can source a range of potential projects to fulfil your criteria. On top of this we also need to understand the broad context of each potential project’s natural ecosystem, which requires an in-depth knowledge of their biophysical, socio-economic and governmental characteristics.


We can do all this in about 3 weeks. How long it actually takes depends on how fast your team can move.
