Unlock Habitat Insights form Geospatial Data

Instantly quantify habitat connectivity

Evaluate how well habitats are connected across landscapes. Identify fragmentation and opportunities to enhance ecosystem resilience. And support nature recovery and large-scale conservation planning.

Map habitats and land use change

Identify nine key land cover types (including water, woodland, shrubland, and grassland). Track shifts in natural vs. human-impacted areas over time. And measure habitat composition for biodiversity impact assessments.

Measure vegetation health (EVI)

Use satellite-derived vegetation data to assess habitat quality and ecosystem productivity. Track year-on-year changes in plant health to detect early signs of degradation or recovery. And inform carbon sequestration and natural capital assessments.

Make better decisions in less time by combining species & habitat data in one place

Customers using NatureMetrics eDNA monitoring services can choose to view Habitat Insights in the same platform as their eDNA survey results.

"The exported data tables are very helpful for deeper analysis and visualization and the time-series charts are clear, clean, and easy to interpret, making trend analysis straightforward."

We exceeded our goals, detecting hundreds of additional vertebrate species. Without eDNA and NatureMetrics, we would have been relegated to visual surveys, requiring more field time, and to opportunistic interviews for the other five target species, which are less reliable, auditable, and systematic. The hundreds of other species detections would not have been possible at all.

eDNA has got huge applicability. If we think about early on in the discovery and exploration phase,where our knowledge is limited about the potential biodiversity risk in the area that we might be looking to explore, it’s a critical component to that.

Anglo American

Traditional ecology often captures insufficient data. In contrast, eDNA has facilitated a much better understanding, especially in the case of large deep rivers, allowing for a more comprehensive grasp of the impacts on ecological communities. As a result, appropriate mitigation measures can be implemented.

SMEC

eDNA provides wider ecological datasets that provide us with a tool not only to mitigate any potential impacts from developments but also to evidence the positive ecological impacts that can arise from offshore wind farms in a way we have not been able to do before due to traditional survey method constraints.

FAQ's

How does geospatial analysis help with biodiversity monitoring & reporting?

By using satellite imagery and remote sensing, this solution measures land cover changes, habitat connectivity, and vegetation health over time. It provides cost-effective, large-scale monitoring without the need for frequent field surveys.

What makes your geospatial platform different from other tools?

Unlike traditional GIS mapping tools, this platform uniquely integrates eDNA species monitoring with geospatial habitat analysis, providing a complete picture of biodiversity and ecosystem function in one place.

How does eDNA species monitoring work?

Unlike traditional GIS mapping tools, this platform uniquely integrates eDNA species monitoring with geospatial habitat analysis, providing a complete picture of biodiversity and ecosystem function in one place.

What types of geospatial data does this platform provide?

This geospatial solution delivers three key habitat metrics:

Land Cover Monitoring – Tracks changes in habitat types (e.g., woodland, shrubland, water).

Habitat Connectivity – Measures landscape connectivity to support wildlife movement.

Vegetation Index (EVI) – Assesses plant health as a proxy for habitat condition

How does this solution support biodiversity regulations?

The platform provides standardised, repeatable, and regulatory-aligned data that meets the requirements of:

Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD)

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)

Verra Nature Credits & Carbon Credit Standards

EU & UK Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Policies
