Our history

Ecocene embodies the evolution of ecological leadership in Australia, with roots extending back to 1985 when Astron Environmental was established in Karratha, Western Australia. For four decades, Astron built its reputation delivering innovative, science-driven ecological services to organisations, governments and communities throughout Australia and internationally.

Our story advanced with the integration of Ecoda, our pioneering ecological data intelligence platform representing the intersection of traditional expertise and cutting-edge technology. This strategic union combines deep ecological knowledge with advanced data analytics to address today’s complex biodiversity challenges.

Through this evolution, Ecocene has cultivated a distinctive approach that merges decades of field experience with innovative technologies. We’ve bridged traditional ecological consulting with advanced data solutions, enabling us to address biodiversity challenges with unprecedented precision and scale.

Our journey reflects our commitment to innovation and excellence—from our beginnings in the Pilbara region to our current position at the forefront of nature technology and biodiversity solutions.
