    Hello, I'm Lisa.

    My fascination with the natural world and my concern for the deteriorating environment are what led me to specialize in sustainability, the environment, and nature conservation.

    I support companies, NGOs, and educational and research institutions by translating their Spanish or Catalan content into English, thus helping them to raise awareness, instruct, report on achievements or problems, disseminate their research to a wider audience, acquire new clients, expand internationally, or attract foreign investment, among other things.

    I ensure that your English communication is clear and natural, that your field's terminology is accurate and consistent, and that the content is adapted to the cultural and linguistic nuances of your target audience.

    All this contributes to gaining influence and engagement, and to building trust and credibility.

    I have been a qualified and professional translator for over 17 years and have worked with numerous sectors during this time. I focus mainly on projects that can make a positive difference for people, non-human animals, and the environment.

    What kind of content can I help you with?

    🌿 Sustainability and ESG reports/plans/strategies.

    🌿 Environmental impact assessments.

    🌿 Habitat and species reports.

    🌿 Natura 2000 projects.

    🌿 Websites related to the environment, sustainability, nature, and biodiversity.

    🌿 Environmental education, activities to promote contact with nature, nature-based solutions.

    🌿 Texts on natural parks and ecotourism.

    The list above is not exhaustive, so please get in touch to see if I can help. You can write to me at lisa @ planetalanguagesolutions. com.

    Let's work together for a better world! 💚
