We exceeded our goals, detecting hundreds of additional vertebrate species. Without eDNA and NatureMetrics, we would have been relegated to visual surveys, requiring more field time, and to opportunistic interviews for the other five target species, which are less reliable, auditable, and systematic. The hundreds of other species detections would not have been possible at all.

eDNA has got huge applicability. If we think about early on in the discovery and exploration phase,where our knowledge is limited about the potential biodiversity risk in the area that we might be looking to explore, it’s a critical component to that.

Traditional ecology often capture insufficient data. In contrast, eDNA has facilitated a much better understanding, especially in the case of large deep rivers, allowing for a more comprehensive grasp of the impacts on ecological communities. As a result, appropriate mitigation measures can be implemented

eDNA provides wider ecological datasets that provide us with a tool not only to mitigate any potential impacts from developments but also to evidence the positive ecological impacts that can arise from offshore wind farms in a way we have not been able to do before due to traditional survey method constraints.

Extractives

eDNA provides powerful data for tracking progress towards biodiversity targets

We help businesses in the mining and extractives industries to assess and manage biodiversity risk at all stages of the project lifecycle, from exploration and baselining to closure and restoration.

Across multiple habitats and environments, we work with you to add cutting edge molecular tools to your monitoring programmes. The data we provide helps track progress towards goals such as Net Positive Impact.

Simple-to-use sampling kits can be used by your staff or contractors on the ground to assess biodiversity and monitor trends throughout an asset’s operational life cycle. This helps managers make more informed decisions to effectively mitigate impacts, while reducing effort, costs and safety risks commonly associated with conventional biodiversity monitoring survey methods.
