This is Session 2 of The Nature Intelligence Edge — a three-part series for environmental consultancies.
If you missed Session 1 (7 May: The nature questions your clients need you to answer), the recording is available on demand. Session 3 (26 May) covers winning and delivering nature mandates — including tender language and partnership models.
Environmental DNA is fast becoming the standard for credible, site-level biodiversity evidence. But for many consultants, eDNA and other technologies like bioacoustics are still a black box — something clients are asking for, but harder to specify, recommend, or scope with confidence.
This session opens up the science. Hosted by NatureMetrics' consultancy partnerships lead and Head of Conservation, along with the ecology team in the Q&A session, we will walk through exactly what eDNA and bioacoustics produce, when to deploy them versus conventional methods, and how the outputs translate into decision-ready client deliverables.
By the end, you will know how to recommend eDNA and bioacoustics appropriately, how to scope it into a project, and how to present the outputs to clients and regulators with confidence.
