THINK. PLAN. ACT.
EcoNiche is an interdisciplinary consultancy and strategic systems partner for conservation-oriented organisations. We guide our partners from vision to impact by co-creating strategies, systems and learning processes that simplify program design and drive lasting ecological and social change - tackling the climate and biodiversity crises head-on where it matters most.
OUR SERVICES
RESEARCH & STRATEGY
We help conservation-oriented organisations transform strategy (organisation, program and project) into action - building and clarifying vision, aligning teams, and crafting evidence-based plans and proposals (through needs-based assessments & feasibility studies), to tackle the biodiversity and climate crises. Guided by inclusion, integrity, and local insight, and through co-creation & collaboration, we uncover impact opportunities, set priorities, and support the delivery of actionable and lasting solutions.
IMPACT MONITORING & EVALUATION
We build end-to-end MEAL systems — combining robust M&E frameworks, automated data collection & analysis, and impact audits — to deliver real-time insights. We conduct third party evaluations and impacts audits. Our digital tools and adaptive learning foster continuous improvement and transparent outcomes. Grounded in evidence and critical reflection, we prioritise genuine impact over polished reports.
LEARNING & KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
We empower individuals, teams, and systems to unite around shared conservation goals — offering PCM (Project Cycle Management) & ToC (Theory of Change) training, field-data Standard Operating Procedures for monitoring & evaluation, cross-sector facilitation, and support in transforming climate and conservation education into action. We work with care for people, places, and relationships, listening, learning, and adapting alongside partners with respect and curiosity.
