Écoptère

Ecoptere is an independent wildlife biology consultancy founded in 2016 by biologist Valéry Uldry. Based in Sonvilier, Switzerland, the business provides scientific expertise for projects, studies and assessments focused on fauna and biodiversity. Its specialist field is chiropterology, the study and conservation of bats, while its work also covers amphibians, reptiles, birds, butterflies, dragonflies and other mammals.

Ecoptere’s work is guided by species conservation, the relationship between people and wildlife, and the enhancement of habitats. The company undertakes management advice, project support, communication and environmental impact studies for public administrations, associations and private businesses. Its services can contribute to initiatives such as urban nature projects, conservation programmes and assessments of how developments may affect wildlife.

Alongside consultancy, Ecoptere supports practical conservation and public awareness, including work relating to bat habitats and bird-friendly environments. Through its combination of biological knowledge and experience across multiple animal groups, the business helps clients understand local wildlife and plan informed actions to protect species and the places they depend on.
