About us

Biolink Ecological Consultants is an independent ecological consultancy specialising in threatened species conservation, landscape ecology and evidence-based environmental planning. We work across eastern Australia, helping government, conservation organisations, industry and landholders turn ecological information into practical conservation outcomes. Our work spans the full conservation process. We design and deliver large-scale ecological surveys, analyse population and habitat data, develop spatial models and habitat mapping, assess threats and landscape connectivity, and translate the results into conservation strategies, management plans and on-ground actions. We also work closely with communities, landholders and other stakeholders to develop solutions that are scientifically robust, practical and achievable. Biolink has particular expertise in koala ecology and conservation. Our projects range from regional population monitoring and habitat assessment to connectivity analysis, conservation planning, development impact management and long-term population strategies. Increasingly, our work also brings together ecological, social and practical considerations to address complex conservation challenges. As a small specialist consultancy, we offer something different from larger multidisciplinary firms. Our projects receive direct input from experienced ecologists from initial design through to final delivery. We value scientific rigour, independence, collaboration and practical problem-solving, and we tailor our approach to the ecological and management questions that matter for each project.
