Our History
Faunatech was established in 1991 to bring high-quality, practical field equipment to wildlife researchers across Australia. Owners Ross Meggs and Barb Young began the business out of their home in Eltham, Victoria, combining their wildlife research and manufacturing technology backgrounds to design, customise, and deliver reliable wildlife monitoring tools.
A Different Approach
Ever focused on the customer, Ross and Barb took a personalised approach to business, teaming with researchers during the program design phase to understand their needs and pair them with appropriate, reliable tools. This hands-on approach to equipment selection, delivery, and support enabled many environmental monitoring and conservation projects across the region.
From 2000, Faunatech operated for 22 years out of a purpose-built facility in rural Mount Taylor, Victoria.
Building on a Legacy
In 2022, after more than 30 years of partnering with customers on wildlife research projects, Ross and Barb decided to move into retirement. By then, Faunatech’s long-standing relationship with supplier Wildlife Acoustics and the companies’ shared values of quality, integrity, and customer service led naturally to Wildlife Acoustics’ acquisition of the business.
Today, Faunatech continues to operate out of Sydney, NSW, supporting the global community of researchers and wildlife professionals throughout the Indo-Pacific.
