About

This spirit of the environmental champion is present throughout our range of services and has allowed NPE to deliver successful outcomes across a wide range of projects.

Founded in 1986, Nova Pacific Environmental was built on the conviction that progress should never come at the expense of nature. Created to bridge the gap between environmental policy and real-world science, NPE operates at the top tier of Environmental Biology. Guided by principles of truth, practicality, and ecological integrity, the team blends rigorous science with intuitive field experience.

Known for its grit and on-the-ground expertise, NPE provides environmental assessments, permitting, restoration, wildlife surveys, and construction monitoring for developers, municipalities, Indigenous communities, and private industry. Every project reflects the spirit of the Environmental Champion — advancing development while preserving what matters most.
