Extend your team. Defend your data.
Remote biodiversity monitoring for consultancies delivering Biodiversity Net Gain, Environmental Impact Assessments and long-term monitoring at scale.
The ecology sector is being asked to deliver more — across more sites, more taxa and more years — than its workforce can sustain. BNG’s 30-year monitoring obligation, the pipeline of Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects and housing-driven EIA work, and rising client expectations on data quality all collide with a shortage of experienced field ecologists and narrow survey windows. Something has to give: margin, quality or the next contract. Technology is the only way out of that triangle.
Your drivers
Mandatory long-term BNG monitoring
Clients need defensible biodiversity data for 30 years post-consent. Repeat manual survey at this scale isn’t commercially viable.
Resource and seasonality constraints
Ecologist availability, weather windows and protected-species licensing limit what teams can realistically cover in a season.
Data defensibility
Planning inspectors, statutory consultees and clients are scrutinising survey effort, methodology and confidence more closely than ever.
Competitive differentiation
Consultancies increasingly compete on technology, data quality and reporting — not just billable days.
Recurring revenue
Manual monitoring isn’t a profitable retainer model. Sensor-led monitoring is.
What we provide
We give consultancies a deployable monitoring layer that complements your ecologists — it doesn’t replace them. Sensors run unattended continuously, capturing data no team can practically cover in person. Our platform processes everything and produces outputs your consultants validate, interpret and write up.
- Bat, bird and moth survey effort scaled in parallel across multiple sites
- Continuous data through full survey seasons, not single-visit snapshots
- White-label service possibleData structured for BNG, EIA, HRA and post-consent monitoring
- Multi-year monitoring contracts that actually make commercial sense
“Prior to using Wilder Sensing we struggled with the data analysis process… With Wilder Sensing we can analyse multiple years of data within a couple of weeks, which is of great benefit in maximising efficiency and being able to rapidly identify key findings and advise our clients accordingly.”
