Client Feedback

See What Our Clients Say

Hear from organisations we have supported across complex projects, delivering reliable, defensible outcomes under regulatory and operational pressure.

We had a fantastic experience working with Okala, who supported us with camera trap surveys, including survey design, image processing and data analysis. They were extremely professional and communicative, delivering tagged images and access to their expert dashboard within a short space of time. We look forward to working with them on future projects. 

Olivia Wilson-Holt
Zoological Society of London, Human-Wildlife Coexistence Projects Manager

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.

Robyn Morland
Director

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.

Osiris Doumbe
Consultant

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.

Dr Vittoria Estienne
Conservation Scientist

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.

Dr Donald Bray

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.

Sylvie Boldrini
ESG General Manager

The full service - from fieldwork to reporting - was excellent. We look forward to working with Okala again.

Cameron Main
Estate Manager - Galbraith

Minimising biodiversity impact is an increasing challenge for our sector. Okala provided unrivalled transparency and reporting for our early-stage industrial project in Rwanda.

Arnab Bose
Managing Director

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions Consultations and Delivery

Find answers to frequently asked questions about consultations, project scope, timelines, and how we support biodiversity assessments, monitoring, and compliance.

1. What Happens During The Initial Consultation?

We review your project scope, timelines, and regulatory requirements, then outline a clear approach across assessment, monitoring, or reporting based on your needs.

2. Do I Need To Have a Defined Project Before Booking?

No. We regularly support early stage projects by defining survey design, identifying data gaps, and recommending appropriate monitoring methods. This ensures your approach is aligned with regulatory expectations from the outset and avoids delays during approval or reporting.

3. Can You Support Projects In My Region?

Yes. We deliver projects internationally across multiple sectors and environments, combining local field deployment with centralised data analysis and reporting. Our experience includes large scale projects across Africa, Europe, and other global markets.

4. Can You Work With Our Existing Data or Ongoing Projects?

Yes. We can ingest and analyse existing datasets, including camera trap imagery, acoustic recordings, eDNA samples, and GIS data. We integrate these into a centralised workflow to generate consistent biodiversity metrics and reporting outputs.

5. Do You Provide Ongoing Monitoring After The Initial Assessment?

Yes. Unlike most biodiversity consultancies that deliver a one off report, we transition seamlessly into ongoing biodiversity monitoring. Your ecological data stays in a live dashboard, updated continuously as new survey data comes in. This means your biodiversity reporting stays current for TNFD, CSRD, and other evolving disclosure requirements.

6. What Industries Do You Work With?

We've delivered ecology consulting across mining, infrastructure, energy, forestry, agriculture, and conservation in 13+ countries. Our team understands the specific regulatory landscapes and operational constraints of each sector, from environmental impact assessments for mining approvals to biodiversity strategy consulting for corporate ESG programmes.
