Understanding ecosystems requires more than instruments and charts—it demands listening. At Audax Ventus, our research sits at the intersection of ecology, anthropology, and lived experience. We work alongside local knowledge holders, researchers, and communities to better understand the deep relationships between people, wildlife, and place.
This is not research for research’s sake. It’s about co-producing knowledge that can guide stewardship, resilience, and restoration—rooted in respect, reciprocity, and curiosity.
Studying human–animal relationships and migratory patterns
From whales and sharks to birds of prey and sea turtles, The Megafauna Atlas explores how cultures across the world relate to the giants of land, sea, and sky. We track migration routes, observe shared habitats, and record stories that reveal how these animals shape identity, ceremony, and conservation. Our goal is to document not only where species go—but what they mean.
Traditional ecological knowledge and stewardship practices
Ecosystems thrive where knowledge is passed down. Kinship Currents is our exploration of traditional ecological practices—fishing cycles, planting rhythms, sacred sites, and seasonal signs—that have long safeguarded biodiversity. By working with Indigenous communities and elders, we learn from the deep time of place, and help ensure that wisdom is neither lost nor silenced.
Field partnerships with Indigenous and coastal communities
No one knows a place like those who call it home. Compass Point Collaborations is our approach to research that starts with relationships—not assumptions. Whether it’s documenting reef health, tracking environmental change, or recording local histories, we work in partnership to support community-led priorities and ensure findings serve those who share them.
