Environmental licensing that won't stall your project.

Credentialed team, traceable processes and institutional relationships to conduct licensing from the preliminary study to operation.

Environmental licensing is what separates an approved project from a halted site. MIDAS handles full environmental licensing, impact assessments (EIA), forest and fauna inventories, regularization and technical defense against infractions. Instead of treating the environment as isolated paperwork, we integrate environmental work, surveying and GIS from the early study — anticipating constraints, speeding up environmental agencies and keeping permits current so the schedule never stalls.

Lines of action

01 / 06

Full Environmental Licensing

End-to-end management of the licensing process across all three phases (Preliminary → Installation → Operating licenses), renewals, rectifications and adjustments with IBAMA, ICMBio, SEAM, MADES and state and municipal agencies. We prepare all required studies: RAP, EIA/RIMA, RCA, PCA, PBA, PRAD and monitoring reports. Our edge lies in the institutional relationships built over more than +50,000 licenses issued — resulting in shorter timelines and fewer supplementary requirements.

02 / 06

Forestry Inventory

Full phytosociological survey of tree, shrub and herbaceous species using systematic and random sample plots following IBAMA and international protocols (FAO, ITTO). We calculate biomass, carbon stock, Shannon-Wiener diversity and coverage value parameters. The data underpins vegetation suppression permits, forest offset programs, REDD+ projects and forest asset inventories for banks and investment funds.

03 / 06

Fauna Inventory & Rescue

Survey of herpetofauna, avifauna, mastofauna and ichthyofauna using camera traps, mist nets, fyke nets, active search and vocalisation analysis. We identify endemic, threatened and licensing-relevant species. We prepare and execute Fauna Rescue and Displacement Plans (PRAF) with a team of credentialed biologists, ensuring environmental compliance and reducing the risk of project embargo.

04 / 06

Socio-environmental Diagnostics

Full characterization of the physical (geology, soil, water resources, air quality), biotic (flora, fauna, ecosystems) and socioeconomic (communities, land use, cultural heritage) environments for EIA/RIMA, PBA, PCA and pre-feasibility studies. We conduct public hearings, consultations with riverside and indigenous communities (ILO Convention 169), and prepare Social Communication Plans for conflict mitigation.

05 / 06

Archaeological Services

Archaeological Heritage Impact Assessment Programs (PIPA), intensive archaeological prospection, construction monitoring and archaeological site salvage in compliance with applicable heritage regulations. Our team of archaeologists holds registration with the competent heritage agencies and has extensive experience in linear infrastructure projects (highways, railways, pipelines) crossing zones of high patrimonial sensitivity.

06 / 06

Agro-environmental Reports & Regularization

Preparation of technical reports for CAR (Rural Environmental Registry), ITR (Rural Land Tax), vegetation suppression permits, land regularization and defense in environmental infraction proceedings. We operate in administrative processes before environmental agencies, drafting appeals, clarifications and technical documentation to support defenses. Our track record of +50,000 processes guarantees deep knowledge of the procedural rules of each agency.

Method

From early study to permits kept current.

Diagnosis

Survey of constraints, sensitive areas and legal requirements before starting.

Studies

EIA, forest and fauna inventories and specific studies per project type.

Licensing

Filing, handling and follow-up with environmental agencies through issuance.

Management & defense

Compliance, renewals and technical defense against infractions and appeals.

Why MIDAS

Compliance that shields the schedule

+50k licenses issued

Operational volume that demonstrates industrial-scale execution capacity and deep knowledge of the procedural rules of every environmental agency in South America.

Full technical defense

We act from the preliminary study through to defense in infraction proceedings, administrative appeals and technical representations. Licensing does not end at license issuance — it ends when the project is in operation.

In-house multidisciplinary team

Biologists, forestry engineers, archaeologists, geologists, oceanographers and socio-environmental specialists — all directly employed by MIDAS, with no outsourcing of critical stages.
