Biologists who work hard to get you results
Wildlife Innovations is a biological consulting firm specializing in wildlife and predator management to support the recovery of threatened and endangered species, promote habitat restoration, and reduce human and wildlife conflict.
Â
We have extensive experience on city, state, and federal lands, including places that demand a higher level of operational awareness: active military installations, busy construction sites, and airports. Our biologists are certified and permitted to use deterrence and exclusionary devices, trapping, translocation, and both lethal and non-lethal techniques, applied safely and discreetly in urban and rural environments.
Â
We prioritize non-lethal management of native predators wherever possible, and use lethal control with high specificity only when it is necessary.
What we do

Predator surveys at proposed release sites to find the ideal areas and times for release.
