Zara’s primary service areas are driven by requirements for compliance with the Endangered Species Act (ESA), Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations, and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

We perform field-based habitat assessments and species surveys, hydrogeological assessments, and novel ecological and groundwater studies. Our biological specialties include karst ecosystems, bat population studies, groundwater fauna and Eurycea salamanders, and endangered songbirds.
