Is there a minimum number of kits I need to order?
Building a robust evidence base
There is no minimum number of kits you must purchase to begin your monitoring journey. However, the number of samples you collect is critical to the quality of your results and the defensibility of your nature reporting. While you can order a single kit, taking more samples will always provide a more reliable and comprehensive picture of the biodiversity at your location.
Why sample density matters
To move beyond high level estimates and into verified reality, your data needs to be statistically significant. A single sample provides a snapshot, but multiple samples allow you to capture the full complexity of an ecosystem.
-
Identify meaningful differences If your project involves comparing biodiversity between different sites, we recommend collecting at least five samples from each one.
-
Increase detection probability More samples increase the likelihood of detecting rare or elusive species that might be missed in a single collection.
-
Enhance scientific rigor Robust data allows you to make confident and well informed business decisions that satisfy the most demanding investors and regulators.
