Elmoby

Elmoby Ecology is an Australian ecological consultancy focused on understanding and reducing the effects of wind energy facilities on birds and bats. The company has worked in this field since 2005, with ecologist Emma Bennett leading a team of experienced professionals. Its work supports the development of renewable energy while helping protect biodiversity.

Elmoby Ecology provides advice and services across the stages of bird and bat management, from pre-construction BAM plans and impact assessments to post-construction fatality monitoring and mitigation. It is recognised for its expertise in post-construction fatality monitoring, including the use of trained scent dogs in field surveys. The team has completed more than 15,000 surveys across south-eastern Australia and has delivered projects in Asia, with collaborations in Europe and the United States.

Elmoby Ecology has worked with major Australian wind companies, universities, government organisations, international financial lenders and ecological consultancies. Research and evidence-based decision-making are central to its approach, supported by publications and professional partnerships.
