Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Endeavour Veterinary Ecology (EVE) and our innovative approach to managing koala populations and other species at the human-wildlife interface.
An Endeavour to Save Koalas
Koalas face numerous threats in an increasingly cleared, developed, and fragmented landscape. Habitat loss and the devastating impact of disease are driving koalas to the brink of extinction, with the species listed as endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act in 2022.
Koalas and Urbanisation Intersect
Established in 2009, EVE is a Queensland-based ecology and veterinary team delivering innovative and pragmatic solutions for the recovery of koalas across Australia, primarily where urban, industrial, and rural development intersects critical koala habitat.
By combining veterinary care, innovative wildlife technologies, and niche expertise, we collaborate with clients to ensure koalas are protected throughout the lifecycle of major development projects.
How We Help
We become involved when clients actively seek specific solutions to koala management. This can include various scenarios across a broad range of industries where koala management expertise is needed. For example:
- Mitigating threats in the landscape
- Koala health management
- Baseline population and health data
- Understanding koala habitat use
- Developing koala management plans, policies, and strategies
- Partnering with research institutions to further the knowledge of koala biology and ecology
- Safeguarding koalas pre, during, and post construction.
At EVE, our mission extends beyond ecological expertise. We are catalysts for sustainable solutions that best balance urbanisation with the preservation of koalas and other threatened wildlife.
Applying a Unique Approach
We apply a holistic and multidisciplinary approach, based on our three unique foundational pillars, to achieve mutually beneficial end-to-end koala ecology solutions. This adaptive management model allows us to be uncompromising in providing services and solutions to clients, ensuring the highest standards of animal welfare and optimal ecological outcomes.
