For mining projects, ecological data is required to understand the pre-existing assemblages, diversity, condition and ecological function of the fauna and flora of a site.

In Western Australia we have worked in areas including the Goldfields, Mid-west, Great Sandy Desert, Kimberley, the south-west and throughout the Pilbara.
