Traditional Owner eDNA monitoring program and powerful community engagement.
Our EnviroDNA Traditional Owner eDNA Training Program equips Traditional Owners (who serve as waterway managers and environmental water holders on Country) with the skills to design and conduct eDNA water sampling on Country. We also assist with the interpretation of resulting data. We have established partnerships across Australia to help create meaningful opportunities to overlay eDNA data with traditional knowledge, adding an invaluable cultural perspective to scientific findings.
How can eDNA be used to survey on Country?
- Establish baseline biodiversity data to understand the distribution of species and measure river and wetland health
- Conduct ongoing biodiversity monitoring to detect change over time, before and after disturbances (e.g., fire) and management interventions
- Include this monitoring tool within Aboriginal Waterway Assessments to inform management decisions, such as cultural flows and ongoing monitoring
A powerful tool for citizen science.
We create citizen science programs that inspire people to explore nature and discover local biodiversity. eDNA is an innovative tool to spark connections between communities, schools, landholders and organisations with their local ecosystems.
Sampling techniques are safe and require minimal training. We work with organisations looking to develop engaging programs that unlock biodiversity data, immerse communities in nature and deepen their understanding of ecosystems. Chat with us to learn how eDNA can make a real difference.
