Biodiversity Monitoring Dashboard

Empowering Stakeholders to Track Ecological Recovery with eDNA Analytics

I partnered with the International Barcode of Life to help a natural resource company monitor biodiversity impacts across their sites using eDNA. The data was rich—thousands of species records and ecological indicators—but difficult for stakeholders to interpret or use in decision-making. They needed a clear way to compare remediation sites with healthy reference forest and understand how ecosystems were recovering over time.

I designed and built a comprehensive PowerBI dashboard that turns this complexity into clear, actionable insight. It brings together multiple perspectives: high-level biodiversity trends, site-to-site comparisons, ecological recovery tracking, species richness and diversity metrics, taxonomic and functional group breakdowns, and the appearance of newly detected species.

The dashboard continies to allow users to explore the data intuitively—filtering by site, year, or season—and instantly see how remediation areas are progressing against biodiversity targets. Today, it provides visibility across 6 sites, 18 stations, and more than 4,100 species from 207 samples, giving stakeholders a reliable foundation for evidence-based management and long-term ecological planning.
