Wildlife Habitat Assessments and Suitability Mapping

Taara Environmental’s experience identifying wildlife and wildlife habitat is as diverse as the animals that inhabit our province. Our biologists and ecologists have completed reptile, amphibian, fish, mammal, and bird surveys. We have also completed habitat suitability modelling and predictive rare species mapping.

Wildlife studies take careful planning and preparation and Taara Environmental is always minimizing its impacts to the wildlife we are studying.

Rare Species Surveys

Taara Environmental provides rare and endangered species surveys following established RISC methodology. Recent projects have included presence/not detected surveys for channel restoration work for the Fraser Valley Regional District and ongoing mapping of several rare and endangered plants, molluscs, mammals, and amphibians for the City of Abbotsford and Fraser Valley Conservancy.
