Enviro-Insight was established in 2009 to provide scientific services to the mining, development, tourism, energy, agricultural and conservation industries. Our primary philosophy relates to the further development and improvement of ecological census techniques by combining traditional methods with the use of the latest technology and adaptive approaches. We value the role of education in the industry and are involved in environmental training for both tertiary institutions and the private sector.

Our fields of expertise
Enviro-Insight specialise in all facets of biodiversity assessments. We successfully combine standard field techniques with spoor tracking, chemical immobilization, relocation of fauna and flora, scat analysis (small mammal assemblages) and camera trapping to produce a more holistic product. The use of bio-acoustics is a growing field in ecology and is applicable in the surveying of amphibians, insects, avifauna and bats. Our use of technology for research purposes has been adapted to the field of bio-surveying and subsequently enables a holistic approach and far greater level of accuracy in all facets of biodiversity assessment. Environmental surveying of linear structures e.g. transmission lines, roads and railways is a specialized sub-discipline of EIA’s and requires a team of highly experienced field biologists, which we can provide. In addition to biological expertise, Enviro-Insight provides archaeological and heritage, soil science and aquatic science services.

Health and Safety training
Educational training has been done through the University of Pretoria and the private sector. Under the auspices of the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT), Enviro-Insight has been involved with the development of training material and safety inductions in the field of potentially dangerous wildlife and reptiles, throughout South Africa. The target audience was primarily Eskom management and field technicians. Enviro-Insight have more than 12 years combined lecturing and training experience in the field of Zoology and more than 6 years in the fields of Fieldguiding and Trailsguiding.

Mapping, Surveying and Website design
Our network of associates can provide a combination of services including GIS models, aerial surveying & mapping as well as web design and customised database development .
