Featured service
Baker Consultants is the leading consultancy offering ecoacoustic survey methods for biodiversity assessment. We use cutting-edge hardware and analysis techniques to capture acoustic data on habitats and species – allowing us to determine biodiversity conditions and ecosystem health on land, in the soil, and in freshwaters.
Our ecoacoustic team is highly experienced in using the latest technology to gather robust, defensible data on a range of species and habitats, on land, in freshwater, and within soil. Innovation and robust science is at the heart of what we do, and Baker Consultants is at the forefront of developing these methods in the UK and globally, actively developing innovative new guidance.
Our ecoacoustics service can be applied to development-related projects within an Environmental Impact Assessment framework, but is also particularly useful for long-term monitoring projects, such as for Biodiversity Net Gain, rewilding, conservation or agri-environment schemes.
