Our Projects

Project Catalog

Our projects span wildlife population monitoring, diet and food-web ecology, endangered species conservation, and renewable energy impact studies, using non-invasive methods to generate high-quality data in challenging field conditions.

Across landscapes that range from remote wilderness to working lands and energy facilities, our teams are deployed to locate scats, carcasses, and other biological targets that inform species distribution, population dynamics, habitat use, and human–wildlife interactions. In addition to species-focused research, we collaborate on applied studies that evaluate detection efficiency, search methodologies, and monitoring protocols to support evidence-based management and regulatory decision-making.
