Amplify your conservation impact, accelerate nature’s recovery, protect what is vital and go beyond the limits of conventional surveying.
Speak to our teamConservation and restoration organisations are under pressure to show measurable outcomes on tight budgets, and funders now want proof that money delivers real ecological gain, evidenced and audited.
Conventional surveys are slow, costly and cover a fraction of species, so evidence of real uplift is hard to produce. DNA-based monitoring gives funders, natural-capital investors and land managers a defensible, comparable read on ecosystem condition and how it changes over time.

The applications where nature evidence changes the outcome in conservation & forestry.
Restoration & rewilding uplift
Establish a pre-intervention baseline and re-sample over time to quantify real ecological uplift across restoration and rewilding sites.
Natural-capital & biodiversity credits
Provide auditable species and ecosystem-community data to underpin net-gain claims and strengthen biodiversity-credit verification.
Carbon-plus-nature MRV
Track the shift to beneficial mycorrhizal soil communities across reforestation, to prove biodiversity co-benefits alongside carbon.
Forestry estate condition
Survey hard-to-measure groups, identify invasives, protected or tiny noctural species, plus illusive and dangerous species.
Funder & stakeholder reporting
Turn DNA results into dashboards that show how funding translates into tangible outcomes, sustaining donor confidence.
Low-effort, high-impact monitoring
Local communities and conservation groups can now radically scale the range and frequency of biodiversity surveys vs. conventional biodiversity monitoring.
DNA from water, soil, and sediment to detect hundreds of species from a single sampling campaign.
An evidence base for nature reporting and biodiversity uplift claims to investors and credit buyers.
Distils DNA and habitat data into a 0-100 condition score, to baseline sites and track change over time.
Species-level detection of protected, rare and invasive taxa to guide restoration design.
Acoustic monitoring to complement eDNA for birds and bats across restoration sites.
The portfolio dashboard and system of record that centralises nature data across thousands of sites.

InverBosques and Trafigura needed a cost-effective, comprehensive solution to establish biodiversity baselines, track soil recovery, and generate data robust enough to support carbon credit verification and biodiversity net gain calculations.
Custom fungal functional profiles, data visualisations, and radar plots were developed to help InverBosques interpret complex biodiversity shifts and integrate findings into their broader restoration and adaptive management strategies.
A clear, evidence-based picture of soil ecosystem recovery progressing from degraded savanna through young plantations toward forest conditions, validating InverBosques' "restoration bridge" approach.
