Highlights
Your nature-related commitments are changing. Join for an exploration of the strategies and technologies extractives companies are deploying to measure and restore nature.
Key learning objectives from this webinar:
- See how new Biodiversity Metrics are helping mining companies make nature-data more actionable in the field and the board room
- Gain an overview of how new technologies – such as eDNA, earth observation, and bioacoustics – are making onsite monitoring safer, less time-consuming, and more effective
- Learn how to respond to the new nature reporting landscape, including the TNFD and Global Biodiversity Framework
- Understand how eDNA is helping organisations overcome traditional constraints around biodiversity measurement, metrics and reporting
