Okala makes ecological data analysis and biodiversity reporting cost-effective, simple and scalable.

Our Expertise

Biodiversity

We combine scientific expertise, field experience and cutting-edge technologies for best-in-class biodiversity measurement and reporting.

Carbon

We support industry and infrastructure projects along their carbon journey, from data collection, analysis and reporting.

EU Deforestation Regulations

We offer comprehensive support for EUDR compliance, from data collection to reporting and due diligence.

Satellite Data

From monitoring deforestation to measuring land-use change, we use satellite to data to inform land-management and model environmental change using AI and geospatial statistics.

Public Datasets

Our biologists integrate publicly available biodiversity and satellite data with our bioinformatics pipelines to deliver comprehensive and rigorous reporting for your project.

Bioacoustics

Scalable, cost effective solutions for monitoring and counting birds, mammals, bats and invertebrates anywhere on earth. We work with global subject experts to validate AI outputs to deliver fast, accurate and transparent reporting.

Our Multi-Method Approach

Wildlife Cameras

The gold-standard for monitoring terrestrial mammals. We can design your camera trap study, process new or existing data and provide scientific reporting on the abundance and behaviour of mammals, from rodents to big cats.

Environmental DNA

A rapid and scalable solution that can be used to understand diversity of any taxa, from invertebrates to mammals and fish. Most suited to aquatic environments, our biologists design your eDNA study and work with the best laboratory to meet your needs.

Field Observations

Traditional ecological fieldwork is still the best way to measure the abundance, behaviour and distribution of many species and taxa. Our Digital Field Assistant mobile app makes collecting field data easy and reporting fast.
