Frequently Asked Questions

Okala is a specialist ecology and sustainability consultancy helping organisations navigate complex biodiversity and sustainability challenges. We combine scientific expertise, technology and practical advisory to support ecological and biodiversity permitting, compliance and informed decisions.

"Okala" is the common name of a tree - Xylopia aethiopica - found in Gabon and across central and west Africa. The tree is known for its ecological and cultural significance, providing both medicine and shelter to local people.

We support organisations across Biodiversity, Climate & Sustainability, and Environmental Software — including critical habitat assessments, ESIAs, ecological surveys, biodiversity monitoring, carbon and GHG services, sustainability reporting, EUDR compliance, bespoke environmental platforms and related advisory work.

We work with organisations in oil & gas, mining, infrastructure, energy, industrial, and development & land use — as well as governments, NGOs and research partners — across 15+ countries.
