Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis uses the power of DNA sequences to offer a rapid, universal and cost-effective way to measure biodiversity, detect pests, and much more. Not only is eDNA science a fast-moving and innovative field, but increasingly, government agencies and industry are adopting it to support environmental management.
Without a doubt, eDNA is changing the face of biological measurement, and now is a pivotal time to engage deeply with the community. Whether you are a practitioner, end-user of environmental information, manager, or policymaker, we hope you will join us to discuss the latest innovations, identify best practice, meet with collaborators, and build networks in New Zealand’s capital Wellington.
The Southern eDNA Society are pleased to bring you the 2nd Australian & New Zealand Environmental DNA (eDNA) Conference. Please watch this space for further information and announcements and follow the updates on the conference.
The organising committee looks forward to welcoming you to Wellington in February 2025.
Conference Host
The Southern eDNA Society is a newly established Australian / New Zealand society of environmental DNA researchers and end users. They aim to promote science and industry collaboration across Australia and New Zealand to advance best practice eDNA methods and adoption in government, private and community sectors. They are tri-partisan; including members from researcher organisations, government and industry.
