About Us
BioGeo is a geospatial and ecological consultancy combining scientific expertise with a profit-for-purpose commitment to wildlife and habitat conservation.
We specialise in GIS, remote sensing, spatial analysis, and geospatial platform development — delivering data-driven insight and digital innovation for environmental, engineering, and infrastructure projects across Australia.
As a social enterprise, $5 from every billable hour is directed to wildlife conservation. Clients choose the cause, and we regularly provide discounted or pro-bono services to conservation organisations that share our values.
Beyond consulting, BioGeo contributes time and technical expertise to conservation programs and research collaborations with universities, NGOs, and community groups — helping turn spatial science into tangible environmental outcomes.
We also support postgraduate researchers in GIS, spatial analysis, and statistics. Projects aligned with our conservation objectives may be supported at no cost.
Dr Andrew Mackey
Founder | Principal Scientist - Geospatial and Ecology
Andrew Mackey is a geospatial ecologist with over 15 years of research, advisory, and consulting experience. He specialises in GIS, remote sensing, and spatial modelling, with advanced capability in MCDA, constraint mapping, suitability modelling, and corridor optimisation for environmental, engineering, and infrastructure projects.
Before founding BioGeo, Andrew worked with the British Antarctic Survey and completed a PhD examining ecological processes using stable isotope analysis. Both roles produced peer-reviewed publications developing spatial models to predict species distributions and isotopic signatures at oceanic scales — work that directly underpins BioGeo's approach to ecological modelling and habitat suitability analysis across complex, data-rich environments. His experience spans marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems — expertise he now applies to biodiversity conservation and sustainable land management across Australia.
Recent projects reflect the breadth of this experience — from leading spatial suitability and infrastructure corridor modelling across State Development Areas for the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning and the Office of the Coordinator-General, to multi-species threatened species habitat and connectivity assessments for the Department of Transport and Main Roads. Other work includes building a national flora, fauna, and weed survey platform for APA Group across thousands of kilometres of gas pipeline network, and habitat connectivity modelling for both resource industry clients and conservation NGOs including the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland.
BioGeo combines scientific rigour, technical innovation, and a genuine profit-for-purpose model — directing $5 per billable hour toward wildlife and habitat conservation on every project.
