Part 3: Winning Nature Mandates

May 26, 2026
1 PM BST/London
This is Session 3 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) or Session 2 (12 May: eDNA and bioacoustics demystified), the recordings are available on demand.

Adding eDNA or bioacoustics to a proposal can feel hard to justify. Clients push back on cost or novelty. Internal stakeholders want to know how it fits the scope. And you need to be confident the data will hold up to regulatory scrutiny.

This session is about the practical side of winning and delivering nature mandates with eDNA and bioacoustics intelligence. We will cover how to frame eDNA and bioacoustics in competitive tenders, how to build the internal business case, how to structure multi-year monitoring programmes that generate repeat revenue — and how to respond to the scepticism you will encounter along the way.

You will leave with a toolkit of ready-to-use language, statistics, and literature references to make the case for eDNA and bioacoustics faster and with greater confidence.

 

What You Will Learn

  • The commercial case for eDNA and bioacoustics in consultancy delivery — faster, cheaper, and more data than conventional methods. 
  • How to integrate nature intelligence into EIA scoping, TNFD assessments, CSRD disclosures, and Biodiversity Net Gain programmes.
  • Handling objections: pre-written responses to the most common client and internal pushback.
  • Building multi-year monitoring pipelines that generate sustained revenue.
  • How NatureMetrics partnership models work — MSAs, white-labelled outputs, co-branded reports, and preferential pricing.

What You Will Take Away

  • A downloadable eDNA and bioacoustics in Client Proposals toolkit — tender language templates, objection responses, supporting literature, and a brief MSA guide.
  • The full three-part resource pack for those who have attended all sessions.
  • A clear next step for setting up a partnership with NatureMetrics.
