“With NatureMetrics’ innovative  aquatic  eDNA  service,  we  at  WWF  Peru  were  able  to  fully achieve   our   survey   goal   of   detecting   the   spatial   distributions   of   six   culturally   and commercially important aquatic species along the Marañon river, and we exceeded our goal by also detecting hundreds of additional vertebrate species, which we can now start to take into  account  in  designing  a  sensitive  index  of  basin-ecosystem  health.Without  eDNA  and NatureMetrics,  we  would  have  been  relegated  to  visual  surveys  for  just  river  dolphins,  itself requiring more field time than the eDNA survey, 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.”

“Thanks to the eDNA service provided by NatureMetrics, ERM has been able to prove the efficacy and Health and Safety benefits of using eDNA as a survey technique and to highlight its value as a method of rapidly scoping sites without the need for a specialist taxonomist to be present.  Following the successful use of eDNA in the Sierra Leone project, ERM has since commissioned NatureMetrics to analyse samples taken at mining development sites in Serbia, with promising results, including the detection of species of conservation concern not picked up by conventional survey methods.”

“It was just mind-blowing to see the diversity of invertebrate life identified through Nature Metrics’ DNA analysis of these three rivers. If there was ever a means of illustrating and understanding the ecologic wonders of an English chalk stream – this was it.” - Charles Watson – Chairman River Action
