Balancing Act: biodiversity assessment for Saudi Aramco

Saudi Aramco required detailed biodiversity data near a facility located within an environmentally sensitive area to guide conservation planning.

Biodiversity Assessment & Conservation Planning – Abha Region

A lack of verified ecological data limited the ability to protect habitats and maintain biodiversity balance.

Project Environmental Workstreams

Project workstreams

Flora and habitat surveys

Multi-day surveys of flora and habitat across the study area.

Fauna monitoring

Camera traps, live traps and nocturnal surveys used to record fauna.

GIS habitat mapping

Habitats mapped in GIS to produce a spatial biodiversity baseline.

Integration with existing studies

New findings reconciled with existing studies to give one consistent record.

How Staterra supported the project

Staterra conducted comprehensive flora and fauna surveys to establish a reliable biodiversity baseline and conservation framework. We provided Saudi Aramco with dependable ecological data where none previously existed: through structured field surveys and habitat analysis, we transformed raw observations into a usable biodiversity baseline. That allowed environmental teams to make informed conservation decisions grounded in site-specific evidence rather than assumptions.

Key Deliverables

  • Biodiversity survey report

  • Habitat maps and species inventories

  • Conservation recommendations supported by field data

Impact & outcomes

Saudi Aramco gained clear ecological insight and practical tools to implement conservation measures while maintaining operational responsibility.
