NNI Resources

NNI Resources (commonly NNI, originally Norsk Natur Informasjon – NNI) is a Norwegian nature-science consultancy. It began in 1996 as a sole proprietorship and has since 2013 been operated through the company NNI Resources AS. The firm delivers natural-science advisory and assessment services to a wide range of public and private clients across Norway, working on nature- and environment-related questions. NNI's work spans marine, freshwater (limnic) and terrestrial ecosystems. Its services include environmental impact assessments, nature mapping and surveying, nature restoration measures, habitat management (skjøtsel) and a substantial amount of research work.

Its registered business area is "other research and other development work within natural science and technology" (industry code 72.19). The team includes biologists and ecologists with specialisms such as zoo-ecology, entomology, botany and zoology. NNI is a private Norwegian company and is not listed on a stock exchange.

In 2013 the business was reorganised and has since been operated through the company NNI Resources AS. The firm continued to deliver nature mapping, impact assessments, restoration and management measures, and research work. Its registered business area is "other research and other development work within natural science and technology" (industry code 72.19). NNI's online presence dates back to 1997, when the first version of its website appeared.
