Biodiversity Consulting That Combines Scientific Expertise With Technology Most Consultancies Don't Have
Traditional biodiversity consultancies have served the market for decades, but the model hasn't changed much. Manual surveys, labour-intensive analysis, and static PDF reports that are outdated by the time they're delivered. Okala is a technology-led biodiversity consultancy built for organisations that need faster answers, scalable methodology, and data that doesn't sit in a filing cabinet. Our ecology consulting services bring together experienced field ecologists and a proprietary biodiversity data platform, so you get the scientific credibility of a specialist consultancy with the speed and consistency of modern technology.
Our team consultants includes ecologists with 150+ peer-reviewed publications ensuring rigorous, defensible methodology trusted by regulators and auditors.
We use our proprietary AI-powered biodiversity analytics software to process camera trap, bioacoustic, satellite, field and eDNA data at scale, saving weeks of manual analysis.
We follow an established technology-led workflow for faster regulatory approval. No more inconsistent data and results from different subcontractors at different locations.
Unlike consultancies that exit after approval, our platform transitions seamlessly into ongoing biodiversity monitoring, compliance reporting, and adaptive management at fixed, predictable costs.
We understand the specific regulatory and operational context of your sector, working with leading organisations globally across mining, infrastructure, energy, forestry, agriculture, and conservation.
Our delivery model ensures technical depth and defensibility across all ecological reports, meeting the requirements of IFC Performance Standard 6, GRI biodiversity indicators, and international regulatory frameworks.

Expert Biodiversity Consulting Built Around Powerful Technology
Our ecology consulting process is designed to get you from brief to defensible results as efficiently as possible. Every engagement follows the same technology-enabled workflow, whether it's a single-site biodiversity assessment or a multi-country ecology consulting programme.
1.
Scoping & Study Design
We start with your objectives, whether that's a biodiversity impact assessment for project approval, a baseline survey for ESG disclosure, or a nature strategy for your board. Our ecologists design the study methodology, select the right survey methods (camera traps, eDNA, bioacoustics, field surveys), and align everything to the relevant regulatory framework.
2.
Field Data Collection
Our field teams deploy across your sites using standardised survey protocols and our Digital Field Assistant app, ensuring consistent, traceable data capture at every location. All biodiversity data, from camera trap imagery to eDNA samples, flows directly into our centralised platform, eliminating spreadsheet handovers and fragmented file storage.
3.
Analysis & Reporting
This is where our technology advantage matters most. AI-powered analysis processes high-volume ecological datasets in days rather than weeks, delivering species classification, trend detection, risk screening, and habitat assessment. Every output is then verified by our in-house ecologists, giving you results that are both fast and scientifically defensible.
4.
Submission & Monitoring
We deliver audit-ready ecological reports through your biodiversity dashboard, not as static PDFs. Every finding links to verified source data with clear audit trails. And because your data lives in a live platform, transitioning from a one-off assessment to ongoing biodiversity monitoring is seamless with the same team, same methodology, same dashboard.
