works with public and private sector entities including Governments and Global Intergovernmental Organisations as well as non-governmental organisations and managers.
Our expertise enables us to develop solutions for the effective conservation and management of biodiversity and the natural world, supporting clients to realise their objectives from project conception through implementation and evaluation.
Blue Pangolin Consulting’s team are specialised in a range of disciplines from project design, development and evaluation, partnership management and animation, marine spatial management and effective management, capacity building, international policy and marine ecosystems, especially tropical ecosystems. With over 45 years of combined expertise, the Blue Pangolin Team can support your project from implementation to evaluation.
Our team develops project architectures with clear theories of change, logical frameworks, measurable outcomes, and actionable implementation plans with robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks. Whether strengthening governance in the high seas or advancing nature-based resilience in coastal communities, our expertise is guided by decades of global experience and rooted in real-world applicability. We have developed projects with budgets of up to €40 million, have extensive experience working with international organisations, particularly in the context of GEF projects, and developing project documents including PIF and ProDocs.
We ensure that projects are not only technically sound but also context-sensitive and impact-driven to catalyse innovation and deliver results on the ground.
At Blue Pangolin Consulting, we turn vision into strategy. From shaping multi-million-dollar programmes to developing site-based solutions, we provide end-to-end design and development services that reflect environmental priorities, funding realities, local capacities, and policy frameworks.

We ensure that projects are not only technically sound but also context-sensitive and impact-driven to catalyse innovation and deliver results on the ground.
We have expertise in reviewing and evaluating the outputs of projects, including the capitalisation of their outcomes, against project frameworks to support organisations, implementing agencies and/or funders.
Blue Pangolin supports mid-term reviews, terminal evaluations, and learning reviews for complex conservation programmes and funds, combining qualitative insight with rigorous analysis. We identify what worked, why, and how future projects can improve.
Our experience spans the evaluation of large-scale multi-million-dollar GEF projects to technical evaluations of protected area funding mechanisms, regional biodiversity initiatives, and policy-level interventions. Through thoughtful capitalisation of lessons, we aid clients to capture lessons learnt and highlight moments of success, while learning from, and understanding, failures. We understand that evaluation must serve decision-making and we produce targeted, actionable recommendations that unlock value and improve long-term outcomes.
We support, develop and implement solutions for projects ranging in size that span from localised interventions to multi-country projects. Our technical implementation includes biodiversity tools, tropical ecosystem resilience, marine spatial planning and management effectiveness, sustainable finance, and policy advocacy. Blue Pangolin’s deep technical expertise ensures agile delivery—whether designing novel tools like the Marine Mammals Management Toolkit, coordinating regional workshops, or leading high-level stakeholder engagement.
We bring strong project and budget management skills to ensure timely delivery, strategic alignment, and quality outcomes, regardless of scale. Our ability to translate science into action ensures our clients gain a trusted delivery partner committed to tangible, high-quality outcomes.
We work with work with a variety of key actors, ranging from high-level governmental individuals, multilateral and bilateral governmental and non-governmental organisations to prominent academics and on-the-ground practitioners.
We coordinate conservation stakeholders to maximise impact. Blue Pangolin has extensive experience building, managing, and sustaining global environmental partnerships ranging from 20 to over 100 members including governments and state actors alongside Intergovernmental Organisations, NGOs and the private sector.
As the Designated Administrative Representative of the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI), coordinators of the Marine Mammals Management Toolkit, members of the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network’s Core and Editorial Teams, as well as supporting the French Coral Reef Initiative (IFRECOR) Secretariat, we understand how to nurture collaboration across borders, sectors, and disciplines.
Whether convening donors for resource mobilisation, coordinating international secretariats, or leading advisory committees, we embed effective governance, accountability, and shared purpose into every partnership we manage – moving from intention to action.
We develop technical tools and knowledge products to strengthen conservation outcomes and empower decision-makers, local communities, and stakeholders. Blue Pangolin designs and implements frameworks, toolkits and guidelines that help protected area managers, governments, and NGOs assess, monitor, and improve biodiversity protection.
From developing the globally recognised Marine Mammals Management Toolkit and contributing to flagship reports like the “Status of Coral Reefs of the World“ reports by the GCRMN, to identifying areas of opportunity to expand and strengthen areas of high-protection, and assess the status of marine management in West Africa, we ensure products are scientifically sound, user-centred, and globally relevant. Our work supports global frameworks such as the Global Biodiversity Framework and Sustainable Development Goals, turning data into action, and strategy into results.
We help governments, organisations and individuals build the knowledge and skills needed to implement effective conservation. Our team assists with, develops, and delivers tailored capacity-building support, from designing training strategies to facilitating workshops, producing practical materials, and supporting long-term institutional development.
With experience from the Caribbean, through the Mediterranean, and West Africa, to the Pacific, we build capacities that are context-aware and solution-oriented. Whether enhancing governance for marine spatial planning or strengthening financial sustainability in MPAs, our approach connects policy, practice, and people.
We believe capacity development is not a one-off intervention but a long-term investment, and we’re committed to growing impact.
The International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) is a global partnership of over 100 members working to preserve coral reefs. Blue Pangolin Consulting, with over 25 years of experience, serves as ICRI’s Designated Administrative Representative, managing the Secretariat and supporting ICRI’s mission.
