EVNT and Targeted Surveys.
The Numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus), Endangered in Western Australia, is a diurnal marsupial that spends its days foraging for termites. With its banded coat and bushy tail, it is one of Australia’s most distinctive mammals, now found only in a handful of protected habitats in the south-west.

In Australia, balancing development with environmental responsibility is critical. Many projects take place in areas rich with biodiversity, where protected flora and fauna must be carefully considered to ensure compliance and conservation outcomes.
Development projects across Australia often overlap with habitats that support species listed as Endangered, Vulnerable and Near Threatened (EVNT) under state legislation, or as Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES) under the EPBC Act.
Overlooking these species during planning or clearing can bring projects to a standstill, expose clients to heavy penalties and result in irreversible biodiversity loss.
The Spotted Quoll (Dasyurus maculatus), listed as Near Threatened in Queensland, is Australia’s largest carnivorous marsupial on the mainland, recognisable by its white-spotted coat and important role as a predator in forest ecosystems.
Fauna Resources provides rigorous EVNT and targeted species surveys, designed to meet both regulatory requirements and best-practice ecological standards.
Our ecologists are trained in a range of detection methods – including trapping, call playback, spotlighting, bioacoustic monitoring, and camera trapping – to identify species that may otherwise go unnoticed. We tailor survey techniques to the ecology of the target species, ensuring the data we capture is scientifically defensible and directly relevant to your approvals.
By engaging Fauna Resources, you gain more than just compliance – you gain confidence
Our reporting not only satisfies state and federal regulators, but also provides your project team with clear, actionable outcomes. Whether it’s locating delicate subterranean species in Western Australia or identifying habitat critical to koalas and frogs in Queensland’s coastal forests, we deliver the information you need to keep projects moving while protecting regional biodiversity.
The Numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) is a diurnal marsupial unique among Australian mammals for feeding solely on termites, using its long sticky tongue to consume up to 20,000 each day.
