our services
Carbon and Environmental Offsets
We assist clients with financial, land-based and advanced offsets. To meet legislative obligations and achieve a conservation outcome, our offsets are well planned and started early.
We use state Strategic Offset Investment Corridors to identify the best sites for offsets.
Offsets will reach maturity sooner if species selection is matched to site conditions.
Environmental Compliance and Impact Assessments
We implement innovative measures to reduce the environmental footprint of infrastructure projects and conduct throrough site assessments that reduce processing delays.
Environmental Monitoring and Research
As extreme changes in temperature, rainfall and fire frequency put species and ecosystems under pressure, our ability to discern and track these changes will improve through long term monitoring and research.
Threatened Species Recovery and Climate Refugia
As environmental stresses and climate change give rise to novel conditions that test the resilience of species and ecosystems, habitat suitability models for threatened species can be refined to include climate refugia.
Education and Training
Because awareness is a precursor to behaviour change.
Regional Ecosystem Assessment
We use a combination of field-verification and remotely-sensed digital data to map ecosystems across Queensland.
Locally-refined regional ecosystem assessments can improve the accuracy of fire hazard models and the effectiveness of prescribed burns.
Regional Ecosystem assessments can also be useful to optimise site capture on offset projects and to target habitat management for threatened species conservation programs.
Why Novel Ecological
Novel Ecological helps clients find the best way to reduce their environmental impact on soil, water, vegetation and biota.
We integrate sustainable development principles with evidence-based science and applied ecology.
