Terrestrial Flora & Fauna
Protecting Australia¡¯s rich biodiversity
Preserving the places we inhabit is important to us¡ªit motivates our commitment to safeguard the integrity of our environment. Our dedication to assisting you in achieving your project¡¯s environmental outcomes stems from our belief that a balanced environment is integral to prosperity.
Whether your requirements involve assessing a location's biodiversity, mapping and surveying vegetation, or searching for rare and cryptic animals and plants, our team of highly experienced ecologists is ready to assist.
We employ cutting-edge methodologies in remote detection of species (new generation drone, acoustic, and camera technologies), wildlife telemetry, environmental DNA and genetic analysis, and mechanistic modelling to enable a comprehensive understanding of your project site's ecology.
Our goal? To provide you with the necessary data, documentation, and support to help you fulfill regulatory requirements and meet community expectations.

"description": "Our team conducts a range of assessments, spanning from desktop reviews and pilot studies to targeted fauna surveys, monitoring, and detailed multi\u002Dseason field surveys. We work with a diverse spectrum of species, ranging from short\u002Drange\u002Dendemic (SRE) invertebrates to bats, birds, reptiles, and mammals. Understanding the presence and abundance of fauna species at a site is fundamental to planning, government approvals, and impact assessments for resource developments, infrastructure and transport projects, and urban expansions.",
