NatureMetrics

“Integrating eDNA monitoring into our project impact reporting has been a game-changer. It provides the data we need to optimise our restoration strategies, report on biodiversity gains and project successes, and ultimately achieve our goal of transforming degraded savanna into thriving, diverse forest ecosystems.”

“We had clear ambitions to reduce our impact on biodiversity, but what we lacked was a meaningful baseline to measure progress against. Working with NatureMetrics has changed that—giving us robust, science-based data that enables us to truly understand our impact and take informed action.”

“The eDNA surveys have provided us with an incredible wealth of biodiversity data that will be instrumental in shaping our restoration plans for the River Thet. The ability to detect such a wide range of species, from fish to invertebrates, gives us a comprehensive understanding of the environmental ground zero”

“eDNA metabarcoding helps us better understand the ecology and quality of our freshwater ecosystems - this has changed the way we think about biodiversity monitoring. The data we now have access to is much more actionable, and it may allow us to take more proactive steps in our conservation efforts in the future. With the precision and depth of data we now have, we can prioritise our efforts and resources much more effectively.”

“It’s very nice to have discussions with people who know what they are doing in terms of eDNA in the lab work and then be reassured that the way you do it is robust. It seems solid enough that we can work with it in our Government Agency, and we bring the discussions and learnings from NatureMetrics into our considerations as trustworthy information when working towards developing a national fitted eDNA monitoring programme, if the method shows to be effective and cost-efficient as well”

“We reached out to NatureMetrics as we knew they had experience with eDNA as well as governmental collaboration. They helped us to gain insights into the extent of eDNA’s potential in our NOVANA-monitoring programme.”

“Traditional approaches to ecological monitoring are not very scalable. Of all these approaches, eDNA is the most scaleable,”

“The evolution from pilot to eDNA insights as part of our full scope biodiversity reporting demonstrates the practical value of this technology. We can now provide our clients with scientifically rigorous biodiversity data that supports their sustainability reporting whilst informing our adaptive management strategies across multiple sites.”

“Our mission is to grow food with nature: eDNA is helping us prove that the Wildfarmed Standards are driving this forward”

“NatureMetrics' eDNA technology has provided us with a comprehensive view of biodiversity across the Cardamom Mountains. This data not only complements our existing monitoring efforts and camera trap data but also gives us the ability to track ecosystem changes over time, helping to provide insight ln the linkage of our conservation actions to biodiversity outcomes. It's become an integral tool for our program which will help improve how we understand and communicate the impact of our work.”

“The comprehensive eDNA baseline study in the Cardamom Mountains exemplifies the type of innovative, scalable approach we aim to support through LLF. This data provides a powerful tool for tracking the long-term impact of our grant, allowing us to clearly demonstrate to our stakeholders how funding translates into tangible biodiversity conservation outcomes.”

““This data is going to be so useful for local authorities and the communities - everyone who looks after these waters. We’re able to look at biodiversity in areas that you cannot easily access or evaluate with traditional survey methods, and get such a comprehensive picture of what is going on””
