Solving Human-Wildlife Conflicts Through Innovation

At OrniLogic, we harness cutting-edge technology, deep ecological insight, and a respect for wildlife intelligence to develop innovative, non-lethal solutions for conservation and wildlife management. Our expertise lies in understanding bird behavior, mitigating human-wildlife conflicts, and transforming emergent technology into practical tools. Through collaboration with top engineers and fabricators, we bring creative, science-backed strategies to life—ensuring the best outcomes for both wildlife and the environments they inhabit.

Our Focus Areas

OrniLogic specializes in resolving clashes between humans and wildlife through three key approaches:

Guiding animals away from conflict areas to reduce damage, mess, and disease transmission. From keeping birds out of dairies to protecting livestock, strategic relocation prevents economic and ecological harm.

Pioneering humane population control methods like remote egg oiling, which has led to significant declines in predator numbers in critical habitats. Our work ensures the survival of vulnerable species such as the desert tortoise.

Changing predator behavior using advanced training tools like the Techno-tort, a lifelike 3D-printed tortoise designed to recondition predator instincts. These behavioral interventions provide long-term protection for at-risk species.

By integrating state-of-the-art tools—including NDAA-compliant drones, 3D printing, AI-driven image recognition, and autonomous monitoring—we maximize conservation impact while minimizing human effort.

Key Team Members

We are a collective of conservation scientists, engineers, and problem solvers dedicated to ethical and effective wildlife management. With a vast network in the conservation and engineering fields, we have the expertise to address complex challenges—and when we don’t, we know exactly who to call.
