Defensible. Auditable. Enterprise-grade.
Every data point NatureMetrics reports is built to withstand scrutiny.
PhDs across ecology, molecular biology and statistics
peer-reviewed papers authored by our scientists
of dedicated eDNA field and laboratory experience
the first European Standard for eDNA monitoring
More accurate
Consistently more accurate than traditional species detection methods, confirmed in direct comparison studies.
More species detected
Field trials show we detect more speciesfrom the same environment than visual surveys alone.
Cheaper
A fraction of the cost of traditional biodiversity surveys, without cutting corners on science compliance.
DNA traces are incredibly faint, and can easily be contaminated. Our state-of-the-art purpose-built facilities in Guildford, and partner labs in Indonesia and Brazil are engineered to eliminate that single biggest threat and deliver high-integrity results for our clients.
Speed without compromising rigour. Results at enterprise scale, validated at every step.
Automated processing designed to deliver fast, high-quality results at scale.
Curated reference libraries, continually expanded and refined over a decade.
Geography-aware validation that flags out-of-range detections for enhanced quality control.
Every identification traceable back to the raw sequence data behind it.
The Challenge
TNFD reporting and social licence around water use. Regulatory risk from abstraction and contamination licences. Need to demonstrate No Net Loss from extraction to closure — across soil ecosystems adjacent to operations and river systems downstream.
How the suite helps
Soil ECI
Globally applicable
Baseline and track soil condition at mine sites worldwide — from pre-disturbance through active operations to rehabilitation and closure. Prove recovery with an independently accredited metric.
Freshwater ECI
Great Britain rivers
Monitor biological condition of river systems adjacent to extraction sites. WFD-aligned scoring for TNFD reporting and regulatory licence evidence — deployable by operational teams without specialist ecologists.
The Challenge
Investors want proof that regenerative agriculture programmes are delivering returns on resilience - not just carbon credits. SBTN freshwater targets and CSRD supply chain obligations require measurable biological evidence. Carbon metrics are too slow to capture the immediate impact of farming interventions.
How the suite helps
Soil ECI
Regenerative ag outcomes — globally
Prove soil health improvement at scale on a timeframe investors can act on. Annual site-level tracking shows improvement rates that carbon metrics cannot capture at this speed.
Freshwater ECI
Supply shed river health - GB
Baseline and track biological condition of rivers in your supply shed. SBTN freshwater target-setting and CSRD nature disclosure evidence for food and beverage supply chains.
The Challenge
Consenting and permitting near watercourses and ecologically sensitive land. Demonstrating mitigation hierarchy compliance at every stage - from design through construction to restoration. Regulatory requirements for defensible biological evidence of genuine ecological uplift.
How the suite helps
Soil ECI
Consenting evidence - globally
The only globally applicable, independently accredited soil condition metric. Defensible for NNL claims, EIA ecological compensation evidence and regulatory approval submissions.
Freshwater ECI
Watercourse monitoring - GB
Biological baseline and ongoing monitoring for schemes near rivers. AMP8 and WFD-aligned scoring that demonstrates genuine ecological recovery to planning authorities and regulators.
The Challenge
Different monitoring approaches across sites make it impossible to compare performance and allocate budgets fairly. Funders demand proof that restoration investments are delivering measurable biodiversity outcomes - not just tree counts or vegetation cover reports.
How the suite helps
Soil ECI
Restoration evidence - globally
Replace disconnected monitoring with one replicable standard. Reveals performance ranges across your estate, enabling budget reallocation and unlocking biodiversity funding narratives.
Freshwater ECI
Riparian restoration - GB
Evidence biological recovery in river restoration projects. WFD-aligned scores that communicateprogress to regulators, funders and the public.
Danish Government uses eDNA monitoring across entire country as government seeks faster, cheaper way to track endangered species
