NatureMetrics works alongside consultancies, not in competition with them. Consultants operate across every sector, so eDNA, bioacoustics and portfolio risk screening can be brought into projects wherever your clients are based.
Talk to the teamA single ground-level baseline gives a client a defined starting point for monitoring and verification.
Clients who understand their biodiversity baseline need it tracked over time, progress verified, and the data translated into the disclosures their boards and investors require. For the consultancy, that is a recurring engagement rather than a one-off survey.
more species detected than conventional surveys alone
faster than traditional survey approaches
lower field-staff cost, with less health-and-safety risk

Any part of the platform can be delivered, from a single eDNA survey to portfolio-wide risk screening.
A 0-1 nature risk score per site to screen operating, development and legacy assets and priotitise where survey effort matters most.
DNA from water, soil, and sediment to detect hundreds of species from a single sampling campaign.
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.
The portfolio dashboard and system of record that centralises nature data across thousands of sites.
Acoustic monitoring to complement eDNA for birds and bats across restoration sites.
Most consultancies already run the projects where eDNA and bioacoustics add the most value.
Broader scope of work
More data broadens the value of your recommendations and the scope of work that can follow, and reduces the risk of missing a rare but material species.
Multi-year engagements
A ground-level baseline supports years of monitoring and verification, rather than a single survey.
A credible technical edge
Bringing eDNA and bioacoustics into proposals positions your consultancy as a technically credible advisor on nature.
One view of client data
Turn DNA results into dashboards that show how funding translates into tangible outcomes, sustaining donor confidence.
eDNA is increasingly recognised, and in some cases required, by regulators, which gives a firmer basis for recommending evidence-based approaches to clients.
The UK Water Framework Directive lake-fish method widely accepts eDNA as standard; the 2025 EU Soil Monitoring Law mandates DNA-based monitoring for soil bacteria and fungi; and governments from Brazil to Scotland now request eDNA data to support national biodiversity targets.
