Species Insights with eDNA

NatureMetrics is the global leader in environmental DNA monitoring. We provide a complete nature intelligence system that simplifies the complexity of the natural world into actionable business insights. With years of experience across thousands of projects, we have processed more DNA samples than any other provider. This vast database gives us the unique ability to identify species with a level of precision and scale that traditional methods simply cannot match.

How eDNA monitoring works

All living things leave tiny traces of DNA in their environment, from bacteria and fungi to fish and larger mammals. Environmental DNA, or eDNA, allows us to capture these biological signatures to build a comprehensive inventory of life at your sites.

The process is designed to be simple and economical to deploy globally without the need for specialist training.

Capture DNA with specialized kits Use our proprietary, site-specific kits to collect water, soil, or sediment samples from any environment. These kits are engineered for ease of use, allowing field workers to capture high quality data without the need for specialist training

Process in purpose built laboratories Samples are sent to our state of the art, high capacity labs where we extract and amplify the DNA using commercial grade protocols. Our facilities are designed to deliver results at a global scale while housing our dedicated research and development teams.

Analyze with advanced bioinformatics We sequence the amplified DNA and apply sophisticated algorithms to identify individual species within the sample. This advanced data science allows us to resolve the full complexity of nature into simple, actionable insights.

Verify against global libraries  Every finding is cross referenced against our industry leading reference datasets to ensure the highest levels of scientific accuracy. This verification ensures your data is auditable, defensible, and ready to satisfy the most demanding regulators.

Our position as a world leader is built on the combination of proprietary technology and expert guidance. We operate purpose-built laboratories that deliver commercial services at scale while maintaining an in-house research team at the cutting edge of the field. This expertise allows us to provide the auditable, defensible data required to satisfy regulators and build confidence in your nature commitments. By delivering insights in weeks rather than months, we empower you to act with clarity and pace.

Intelligent data on a single platform

The real power of our system is how it transforms genetic data into a single source of truth for your entire portfolio. Once your samples are processed, the results are uploaded to the NatureMetrics Intelligence Platform.

  • Automated risk alerts The platform immediately flags invasive species and those on the IUCN Red List.

  • Site level mapping You can view the distribution of species and indicator values across your landscape to identify outliers.

  • Evidence impact Use auditable metrics like species richness and biodiversity health to prove your restoration efforts are working.

Reporting for global frameworks

Species Insights turn biological complexity into clear intelligence for your stakeholders. The platform generates standardized metrics that align with global reporting frameworks like TNFD and CSRD. By using verified data rather than slogans, you can confidently demonstrate your progress toward nature-positive goals while securing your long-term license to operate.
