NatureMetrics Case Studies
We have provided biodiversity solutions from the North Pole to the equator and beyond.
We are dedicated to every project we embark on, from custom-designed to off-the-shelf services. We always strive for the complete satisfaction of our clients and have a wide variety of client and collaborative case studies that showcase our industry-leading expertise. With our high capacity, expertise and experience in DNA-based monitoring, the NatureMetrics team are empowered to meet and exceed expectations.
Lebanon Reforestation Initiative
The Lebanon Reforestation Initiative worked with NatureMetrics to survey freshwater systems in Lebanon, with the aim of building knowledge in a previously understudied region. Having benefitted greatly from the project, they are now keen to scale their eDNA work across Lebanon for the benefit of biodiversity data in the region.
MozamSeq Case Study
The MozamSeq project aims to facilitate the large-scale application of eDNA monitoring in Mozambique to support conservation, fisheries monitoring, and ecological impact assessment. Our findings highlighted the importance of investing in the creation of DNA reference libraries to support the accurate naming of species detected by eDNA.
Conservation eDNA Monitoring with WWF Peru
Using NatureMetrics’ aquatic eDNA services, WWF Peru assessed vertebrate biodiversity across a vast tropical landscape. Using eDNA surveys, WWF were able to survey all target species at once, and a range of additional species, reducing costs while increasing the amount of data obtained.
Invertebrate Surveys at Winwick Wind Farm
Wild Frontier Ecology (WFE) wanted to conduct invertebrate surveys at a new wind farm in Northamptonshire to inform the Habitat Improvement Plan for the site. NatureMetrics conducted DNA metabarcoding analyses to identify the diverse species present in samples collected by WFE.
