Mihkel Proos

Mihkel is the founder and Principal Environmental Consultant with Connect Environmental. He has a keen interest in terrestrial ecology and, combined with his extensive experience in environmental approvals and management, has developed an 'outside the box' perspective on problem solving.

His 18 years’ experience in the environmental field has encompassed environmental approvals, environmental management, terrestrial ecology, impact assessment, strategic assessments, protected area management and threatened species policy. He has undertaken projects in many parts of Australia, both in government and as an environmental consultant. His repertoire of skills has been utilised for projects in linear infrastructure (power, rail, road and water), mining, wind farms, water infrastructure, water storage, Defence tenure, and residential and industrial developments. 

Having extensively travelled Australia, Mihkel came to realise the importance of finding a profession that he loved and enriched the life he lived with friends and family. This is the connection he strives for, the perfect balance between nature and nurture.

Mihkel is a member of the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand (EIANZ - NT Division), the NT Field Naturalists, the Darwin Mining Club and the Energy Club NT.
