Integrated Biodiversity Monitoring Across Mutiple Methods and Data Sources
Our monitoring capabilities enable the integration of multiple data sources to capture species, habitats, and ecological change across environments including field observations, sensor based methods, and spatial data to generate comprehensive, defensible datasets that support compliance, reporting, and long term decision making.
Satellite Data
Satellite imagery and remote sensing used to monitor habitat change, land use, and landscape level biodiversity trends across large and inaccessible areas.
Public Datasets
Integration of global and regional biodiversity datasets to strengthen baselines, validate findings, and provide wider ecological context.
Bioacoustic Sensors
Acoustic monitoring of birds, bats, and other vocal species using passive sensors to capture continuous biodiversity data with minimal disturbance.
Multi-Method Biodiversity Monitoring Capabilities
Wildlife Cameras
Camera trap monitoring to detect species presence, behaviour, and activity patterns across terrestrial ecosystems over extended periods.
Environmental DNA (eDNA)
eDNA sampling and analysis to detect species presence in water and soil, improving detection rates for rare, cryptic, and aquatic species.
Field Observations
Targeted field surveys conducted by ecologists to record species, habitats, and ecological conditions, supporting validation and ground truthing.
Our Approach to Delivering Biodiversity Monitoring Programmes at Scale
From initial programme design through to ongoing data collection, analysis, and reporting, our biodiversity monitoring programmes are designed to deliver consistent, high quality data over time. This proven approach ensures monitoring outputs remain reliable, defensible, and aligned with regulatory and lender requirements.
1.
Programme Design and Scoping
Define monitoring objectives, target species, and regulatory requirements. Design sampling frameworks, select appropriate methods, and establish baselines aligned with project risks and compliance obligations.
2.
Deployment and Data Collection
Implement multi method monitoring programmes using field surveys, camera traps, bioacoustics, eDNA, and spatial data collection across sites and time periods.
3.
Analysis and Validation
Process and validate monitoring data using expert review and quality control procedures to ensure outputs are accurate, consistent, and defensible.
4.
Reporting and Adaptive Management
Translate monitoring data into clear insights that support compliance reporting, inform mitigation strategies, and guide ongoing environmental management decisions.

See What Our Clients Say
Hear from organisations we have supported across complex projects, delivering reliable, defensible outcomes under regulatory and operational pressure.
We have had a great experience working with Okala. The process has been constructive and efficient. We have appreciated the collaborative nature of the work and the level of expertise from the Okala team. It has been great to work with a like-minded team who share our values.
We greatly appreciated Okala’s ability to adapt to the specific demands of the mining industry. Their flexibility and responsiveness enabled the timely delivery of key project components. The dashboard training session was very well received by our client, and the platform itself has proven to be an effective tool for visualizing the results of camera-trap monitoring. We look forward to continuing and expanding our collaboration with Okala.

This was an ambitious project where we could put AI to the test at very large scales. Okala's data platform allowed us to verify AI outputs and rapidly interact with the data using the intuitive interface.
Okala's expert gap analysis and guidance have greatly advanced Fura’s progress towards reaching our sustainability goals. Their professionalism and insight into biodiversity and carbon management exceeded our expectations.
Okala delivered cutting edge biodiversity, carbon and social baselines to understand how a 300,000 ha forestry concession in Gabon could be managed for sustainable development.
The full service - from fieldwork to reporting - was excellent. We look forward to working with Okala again.
Minimising biodiversity impact is an increasing challenge for our sector. Okala provided unrivalled transparency and reporting for our early-stage industrial project in Rwanda.
Okala delivered high-quality biodiversity baselines in just six months using eDNA, bioacoustics and camera traps. Their work will allow us to calculate the biodiversity value of the forest to inform land-management.
