Apex promotes the use of practical cost-effective restoration techniques which can be implemented across a wide variety of habitats including arid environments, grasslands, forests, wetland land systems, bush encroached areas and sensitive coastal systems. We develop practical treatment guidelines, rehabilitation plans, implement rehabilitation works, undertake monitoring and provide rehabilitation training.
We believe in taking a holistic approach to rehabilitating degraded systems which involves identifying the cause and symptoms of the degradation and designing practical interventions which promote favourable conditions to ensure the natural vegetation of the area returns to its pre-degraded state.
Apex is involved in large-scale biodiversity restoration projects which aim at restoring the Subtropical Thicket through the reintroduction of Spekboom (Portulacaria afra). There has been considerable interest in these restoration projects due to their carbon sequestration and climate mitigation potential. Apex believes that unlocking carbon financing to achieve landscape restoration can have positive biodiversity, conservation and social outcomes if implemented in a responsible manner. As experts in the field of restoration ecology with many years of practical experience, we are perfectly positioned to guide the industry towards achieving these positive benefits.
