Species & Habitat Insights

Every living thing leaves traces of its DNA in the environment. The NatureMetrics lab reads those traces to identify the species present, an unrivalled picture of a site's biodiversity from a single sample.

From raw detections to
comparable metrics

  • Automated species metrics from ground-truthed data
  • Geospatial habitat intelligence, site to landscape
  • Five actionable geospatial metrics, including connectivity and intactness
  • Compare sites and groups across a whole portfolio

How it works

1

Bring in your
sites and data

Habitat layers frame the asset, and your validated species data is read in alongside them.

2

We turn it into
metrics

Automated, comparable habitat and species metrics, on a consistent methodology that holds across decades.

3

Act on the trends and behaviours

See condition and change over time, with highly visual outputs ready for a board, a lender or a net-gain milestone.

What you get

  • Automated species and habitat metrics
  • Five geospatial metrics: land cover, connectivity, vegetation health, human modification and biodiversity intactness
  • Site and group comparison across a portfolio
  • Highly visual outputs that evidence progress over time
  • -Upload and integrate your existing data
