Terrestrial Flora & Fauna
Protecting Australia’s rich biodiversity
Preserving the places we inhabit is important to us—it 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.",
