Getting ahead the curve: future-proofing our approach to nature-positive
When NatureMetrics was founded 2014, our mission was simple: to empower the best decisions for nature. While that goal hasn’t changed in 2023, the need to address accelerating nature loss has made it even more urgent.
Nature Takes Center Stage at New York Climate Week
New York Climate Week 2023 marked a milestone as nature and biodiversity took a prominent role alongside climate conversations. While momentum is clearly building, we now need to transition from talk into concrete systemic change implemented across entire value chains.
NatureMetrics and Dartmouth Ocean Technologies partner to provide autonomous marine eDNA sampling technologies for biodiversity measurements at scale
This collaboration brings about significant advancements in the field by offering autonomous collection of environmental DNA from marine environments.
Using DNA to uncover the secrets of Liberia’s rainforests
This video, originally posted on dw.com, shows how NatureMetrics is using environmental DNA to track animals in Liberian forests to help better understand their intricate biodiversity and ensure further protection of these environments.

Exploring remote oceans using traces of DNA
This World Ocean’s Day, new DNA technologies have arrived on the remote islands of the Chagos Archipelago, and a team of researchers are collecting DNA samples to monitor the marine biodiversity of this diverse region.
Industry guidelines now available: Using eDNA to manage biodiversity risk
In this industry briefing note by NatureMetrics and The Biodiversity Consultancy, we see how eDNA technologies are valuable for understanding and mitigating biodiversity impacts at every stage of a project lifecycle.
eDNA brings new solutions for age-old conservation challenges
eDNA is an innovative tool that can help combat the lack of time, resources and data that conservationists are challenged with.
NatureMetrics support new film: Britain’s Hidden Fishes
A new film has successfully crowdfunded £30,000 to showcase rarely shot footage of Britain’s Hidden Fishes. NatureMetrics supported the crowdfund by donating four eDNA Discovery Labs with 100 % of the sales given to the project.
Turning nature into data with NatureMetrics
Strengthening our understanding of UK biodiversity is a priority for effective management, yet we have an urgent need for better data. NatureMetrics scientists have developed scalable DNA based monitoring technologies that complement our existing biodiversity dataflows, giving rise to a new data layer for biodiversity generated using DNA species leave behind in their environment.
eDNA Metabarcoding for Non-Invasive Fish Surveys
One of the best-developed applications of eDNA is surveying fish communities. Fish are particularly well suited to eDNA monitoring because they are fully aquatic and consistently release DNA into the water, making them detectable year-round.
