Our Commitment

Expertise

Founded in 2010, Colibri Ecological Consulting delivers sound scientific information and analysis that addresses environmental challenges, leading to a better understanding of our natural surroundings.

Our Story

What Colibri Means

Colibri means hummingbird in more than 25 languages. Known for their intelligence, agility, and speed, hummingbirds possess excellent vision, helping them navigate and evade obstacles. Hummingbirds also display a wide range of behaviors, emphasizing exploration and communication, that allows them to thrive. They symbolize responsiveness, adaptability, vitality, and endurance.

As a business, we exemplify these same qualities—carefully observing and adapting to our surroundings, providing clarity, and guiding clients through challenging landscapes with ease. Like the fine-tuned, symbiotic relationship between hummingbirds and flowers, we believe in balance and mutual benefit. At Colibri Ecological Consulting, we help our clients address their environment while protecting and conserving the biological resources that make it distinctive.

MISSION

To help our clients carry out successful projects by providing sound scientific information and analysis to address biological resource challenges.

VISION

To help improve the lives of people while advancing the vitality and sustainability of the natural world.

Values

Curiosity & Consideration

The combination of innate curiosity and intentional consideration allows us to see beyond our own perspective while still exhibiting respect and empathy toward others, as well as the world around us. These values create an environment where growth, learning, and discovery thrive.

Immersion & Integration

Immersion encourages us to engage with people and environments in order to gain new insights. Integration allows us to use this knowledge in our analysis and planning. Through immersion and integration, we develop a deeper understanding of the world around us and how we all fit in.

Performance & Passion

Performance is all about striving for excellence, pushing ourselves to be the best we can be, and exceeding expectations. Passion is what drives us to pursue our dreams and find joy in our work despite the challenges. Together, they help us remain focused on achieving success while staying true to ourselves.

Who We Are

Our Team

Distributed among more than five locations in California, our team is made up of scientists who are passionate about what they do and prepared to offer support and guidance on your next project. Along with valuable qualities like diligence and attention to detail, we all share a particularly detailed knowledge of flora and fauna of the San Joaquin Valley and its surrounding foothills and mountains.
