Who We Are

About ICRI Global

ICRI Global runs biodiversity monitoring at terrestrial and marine field sites in under-sampled tropical regions. We combine DNA barcoding, eDNA metabarcoding, camera traps, acoustic sensors and permanent vegetation plots with low-cost decentralised sequencing and standardised, voucher-linked protocols, to establish biodiversity baselines, build the reference libraries that monitoring tools depend on, and track ecosystem change over time. Every record we produce is traceable to its specimen, its site, its method and its custodian, and every site publishes under its own name.
