Detect more species in less time with eDNA
Environmental DNA is reshaping biodiversity monitoring, giving ecologists richer data, companies clearer compliance pathways, and nature a stronger voice in every decision.

What is eDNA
All living things leave traces of their DNA in the environment, shed through skin cells, mucus, waste, and tissue. This genetic material, suspended in water, soil, or air, is what we call environmental DNA (eDNA).
By collecting and sequencing these traces, NatureMetrics tells you exactly which species have been present - without capturing or disturbing a single animal. A litre of river water reveals the full ecosystem of fish, amphibians, and mammals. A handful of soil maps the fungi, bacteria and invertebrates beneath your feet.
This gives decision-makers the most comprehensive, standardised, and actionable biodiversity data available, across any habitat, at any scale.
eDNA sampling is easier and safer than conventional monitoring
Conventional biodiversity surveys, like electrofishing and visual ID, require specialist licences, protected species handling, and methods that carry real ecological and human risk.
eDNA replaces all of that with simple kits to filter water, sample soil, pump air, or swab surfaces. Collection takes minutes, needs no specialist training, and causes no disturbance.
eDNA sampling can be integrating into existing operations and our standardised and simple protocols eliminate observer-skill variability across sites, teams, and years.

eDNA sampling has a higher data return vs sampling effort
Conventional ecological surveys require significant fieldwork time, specialist expertise, and carry risks to both surveyors and species. eDNA sampling dramatically reduces on-the-ground effort while capturing far richer biodiversity data, detecting rare, cryptic, and hard-to-observe species that traditional methods routinely miss.
Use eDNA across the mitigation hierarchy and project lifecycles
From early-stage baseline assessments to long-term post-construction monitoring, eDNA provides consistent, comparable data at every phase of your project — helping you demonstrate credible progress and meet evolving reporting obligations.
