ADVANCED COURSE: 

From Environmental Clues to Wildlife Monitoring: The Power of eDNA

May 18-22, 2026 | Face-to-face

This course introduces the core concepts and techniques of environmental DNA (eDNA) for assessing biodiversity in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. eDNA is a non-invasive tool particularly useful for detecting elusive and endangered species and monitoring ecosystem health using genetic material from water, soil, faecal matter, and other environmental samples. With diverse applications and sample types, starting an eDNA project can be challenging. This course equips participants with the knowledge to plan and conduct eDNA studies, focusing on sampling strategies, laboratory methods, and data interpretation. This course intends to provide a comprehensive understanding of this groundbreaking tool and its applications in ecology and conservation.
