Permits

Securing the necessary permissions early is essential to keeping your project on track and protecting the scientific integrity of your data. While the project lead is responsible for obtaining these documents, our team works alongside you to ensure you have the technical details required by local authorities. By addressing these requirements during the planning phase, you ensure a complete and auditable record of provenance for all your biodiversity findings.

Landowner and site access

Before field work begins, you must have explicit permission to enter the site, collect samples, and remove them for analysis. Confirming this access early prevents legal delays and ensures your team can operate freely and safely on site. This transparency is vital for maintaining a strong license to operate and building trust with local communities and stakeholders.

International export and documentation

If your samples need to cross international borders, the correct export permits must be in place before our logistics team can schedule a collection. Some authorities take six weeks or more to process these applications, so starting this process as soon as your project is defined is critical. Without these permits, samples can be delayed at customs, which risks degrading the biological material and compromising the quality of your results on the Intelligence Platform.

How our team supports your applications

We provide the expert guidance needed to navigate complex regulatory landscapes and ensure your paperwork is verified.

  • Technical specifications We provide detailed data on our sampling kits and the chemical preservation buffers required for permit applications.

  • CITES requirements Our scientists advise on the specific requirements for projects involving tissue kits or areas with protected species.

  • Logistics coordination We manage the final shipping and customs clearing process once your local permits have been confirmed.

Getting it right the first time

The permit process can be slow, but it is a non negotiable step for some global projects. By securing these documents early, you remove the biggest hurdle to getting your samples into the lab and your results onto the dashboard. This preparation ensures your survey data is valid, legally compliant, and ready to be used as evidence for your environmental goals.
