Definition

Technologies monitoring and protecting ecosystems and wildlife conservation

Technologies

Environmental DNA (eDNA) detects species presence from water and soil samples without visual observation. Satellite remote sensing monitors habitat change and deforestation. Acoustic monitoring identifies species from their calls and songs. AI identifies species from images (camera traps, drone footage). Biodiversity credit platforms enable investment in measurable conservation outcomes.

Applications

eDNA sampling assesses fish population health in rivers and lakes. Satellite monitoring tracks deforestation and habitat conversion. Acoustic sensors monitor bird and insect populations. Biodiversity credit platforms fund verified conservation projects.

Market and funding

Biodiversity technology monitors, protects, and restores ecosystems using AI, remote sensing, and eDNA. With 1 funder. Emerging as a new investment category driven by the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
