Zoologists contribute to conserving WA’s fauna through the study of studying animal behavior, safeguarding endangered species, and guiding environmental policy.

Through careful management practices and the ability to identify areas of opportunity, Ecoscape can provide successful outcomes to help reduce impacts to fauna and fauna habitat throughout the State.
