Our Services

What we do: We deliver comprehensive and cost-effective monitoring of plants, animals, and ecosystems using traditional, remote sensing, and AI-enhanced survey methods.

Why it matters: Our monitoring helps guide effective management decisions by identifying baselines, trends and ecological responses to environmental events or management interventions.

Our monitoring can help you understand:

• environmental baselines or long-term environmental trends for species or environments of interest
• environmental conditions, before, during and after environmental events, interventions, actions, policies or programs
• what plants, animals and ecological communities to account for in environmental management decisions
• population numbers, and trends for species and environments of interest.

Includes:

• vegetation surveys, wildlife trapping, spotlighting, soil testing
• camera trapping, environmental DNA, bioacoustics, image recognition
• wildlife tracking (satellite, radio, acoustic), electrofishing, thermal imagery
• large-scale, state-wide monitoring programs
• program review, assurance and evaluation (fire, water, forest, restoration, threatened species, community attitudes)
• management effectiveness studies
• species risk assessment.

What we do: We turn complex environmental data into actionable insights through advanced modelling, spatial analysis, and decision-support tools.

Why it matters: Our data-driven tools and approaches help partners to grapple with the complexities of ecological systems and interactions, assess risks, and make confident, evidence-based decisions using easy-to-use outputs.

Our decision support and data analysis can help you understand:

• where species of interest and their habitats are likely to be
• estimated or modelled population size based on available data
• potential impacts on species and their habitats from environmental disturbances
• emergency event impacts and required management responses
• genetic structure and viability of populations
• which actions have the greatest environmental impact.

Includes:

• species and habitat distribution modelling
• threat, action and benefit/risk modelling
• genetic and population viability analysis
• epidemiology modelling
• molecular epidemiology
• emergency impact modelling and structured decision-making
• custom software tools and expert elicitation.

What we do: We deliver expert advice on species ecology and appropriate management actions to manage threats to biodiversity.

Why it matters: Our advice is based on the best available science, so our partners have the confidence to make informed decisions that align with their long-term management goals.

Our scientific, expert advice can help with:

• threatened species management and recovery plans
• emergency management responses
• decision-making frameworks
• monitoring program design
• targeting management interventions
• environmental water timings for specific outcomes.

Includes:

• threatened species and wildlife ecology
• wildlife disease research and modelling
• management intervention design and advice
• emergency management response guidance
• threatened species management and recovery.

What we do: We empower organisations to invest in nature wisely. We offer expert guidance on where and how to invest to get the best returns and can track the real-world ecological change they create.

Why it matters: Our research provides the science needed for evidence-based management that will deliver real biodiversity impact.

Our policy and program evaluation can help you understand:

• the impact of your projects on species, habitats or the environment
• how different management strategies might achieve different outcomes
• where and what actions might have the greatest impact
• how different environmental variables and interactions influence project outcomes
• identify the most cost-effective ways to improve biodiversity and get the best returns on your investment
• pinpoint the best places to invest for maximum ecological return
• monitor and evaluate the impact of your investments over time.

Includes:

• designing investment impact decision-support tools
• designing cost-effective biodiversity monitoring programs that are fit-for-purpose
• evaluating restoration actions
• adaptive management recommendations
• advice on cost-effective use of water to benefit the environment.

• What we do: We translate science into accessible, impactful messages that reach decision-makers, stakeholders, and communities.

Why it matters: Our communication ensures that science doesn’t just sit on a shelf; it drives change, builds trust, and informs action.

Our science communications can help you:
understand what the science is saying
demonstrate project impact
win funding bids for additional projects
reach diverse audiences and environmental decision makers
ensure you have the right approach and products for your target audience
develop clear, concise messaging about your project.

Includes:

• 
  peer-reviewed publications and internal review
• on-hand advice in person or online
• visual communication (infographics, posters, presentations)
• community engagement and media support
• reports, fact sheets, and outreach materials.
