Our services
Wildlife detection and monitoring
At Indago, we specialise in the detection of cryptic and threatened species, with the overarching goals of protection and conservation.
Invasive species detection and management
We offer a range of invasive species detection and control methods, including pre-incursion surveys (monitoring ‘invasion fronts’), single species detection and monitoring (‘getting things under control’) and eradication programs.
UAVs and remote sensing
Coming soon
Study design and data analytics
Robust and scalable study design is a core feature of our detection dog surveys. We empower clients to have an evidence-based understanding of the factors that underpin the presence:absence of a species of interest.
Why use dogs?
Less disturbance – superior detection
Dogs are renowned for their amazing sense of smell. From gluten to missing persons, COVID-positive patients to elusive fungi, there is very little that a motivated and well-trained scent detection dog cannot detect.
Conservation dogs are able to:
- Survey greater areas in shorter timeframes
- Demonstrate far greater detection capabilities compared to human-only surveys
- Function as an ‘ecologist’s sixth sense’.
Our dogs are much loved and indispensable members of the team. Indago welcomes enquiries as to how our dogs, field methods and analytical approaches can help you achieve positive environmental outcomes.
