Environmental DNA (eDNA) Monitoring
Detect Species and Generate Verified Results with AI-Powered Environmental DNA Monitoring
Our AI-powered environmental DNA monitoring platform connects field sampling, data processing, and expert validation in one secure system. Upload eDNA results, assign species confidently, and visualise verified detections through interactive dashboards. Designed for research, consulting, and audit use, it ensures consistency, transparency, and traceability across every stage of eDNA analysis.
Trusted by Leading Organisations Around the World
Collect Reliable eDNA Samples with Standardised Field Protocols
Field sampling forms the foundation of accurate eDNA monitoring. Our workflows capture location, time, and sample metadata directly from the field, maintaining full chain-of-custody and contamination control from collection to upload. Each record includes geotagged data and consistent templates to ensure repeatability across sampling campaigns.

Automatically record location, timestamp, and collector details for every eDNA sample.
Maintain a complete record of each eDNA sample from field to sequencing results.
Follow standardised methods to reduce error and improve data integrity.
Accelerate eDNA Analysis & Data Processing with AI-Powered Bioinformatics
Once laboratory results are available, our eDNA monitoring platform streamlines the analytical workflow. Automated bioinformatics pipelines perform quality control, trimming, and taxonomic assignment using public and private reference databases. Results are structured and traceable, enabling faster turnaround and reliable species identification.
Run quality control and taxonomic matching steps with consistent bioinformatic workflows.
Assign taxa using curated public and private databases for accurate identification.
Generate standardised data tables ready for review or integration into the dashboard.
Ensure Accuracy with Expert Review of Environmental DNA Results
AI analysis accelerates the workflow, but expert review ensures trust in every result. Low-confidence or ambiguous detections are flagged for manual verification by ecologists, creating a transparent audit trail. All validated detections are linked to their source data, metadata, and review record for defensible reporting.
Specialists verify low-confidence reads and confirm uncertain species assignments.
Each review is recorded with notes and metadata for full transparency.
Validated detections are linked to their original data for verification or peer review.

Visualise eDNA Results and Generate Traceable, Export-Ready Outputs
All validated environmental DNA results are stored in one secure, central dashboard. Users can visualise detections across sites, filter by species or sampling date, and export traceable datasets for research, consultancy, or audit use. Each output maintains full metadata and validation records, supporting transparency and repeatability.
View detections across sampling sites through spatial and temporal dashboards.
Generate formatted outputs ready for downstream analysis or archiving.
Link each exported result to its verification history and metadata for review.
Fully Integrated Environmental DNA Monitoring Workflow In Four Steps
Our platform connects every stage of environmental DNA monitoring, from field collection to expert-validated outputs. Built for scale and scientific rigour, it ensures every dataset remains consistent, traceable, and ready for analysis, publication, or audit.
1.
Upload Field and Laboratory Data
Import eDNA sample results together with field metadata and sequencing outputs. Each dataset is stored with location, time, and collection details for complete traceability.
2.
Run AI-Assisted Bioinformatics
Process eDNA data through automated pipelines for quality control, trimming, and taxonomic assignment. Results are structured for review and visualisation.
3.
Expert Validation and Review
Ecologists assess low-confidence reads and confirm uncertain identifications, creating an audit log for each verified result.
4.
Visualise and Export Outputs
View validated detections across sample sites through an interactive dashboard. Export traceable data tables for research, consultancy, or reporting purposes.

Client Feedback
Organisations across the world use Okala to simplify biodiversity monitoring, accelerate compliance reporting, and deliver measurable ecological impact. Here’s what they say about working with us.
We greatly appreciated Okala’s ability to adapt to the specific demands of the mining industry. Their flexibility and responsiveness enabled the timely delivery of key project components. The dashboard training session was very well received by our client, and the platform itself has proven to be an effective tool for visualizing the results of camera-trap monitoring. We look forward to continuing and expanding our collaboration with Okala.

This was an ambitious project where we could put AI to the test at very large scales. Okala's data platform allowed us to verify AI outputs and rapidly interact with the data using the intuitive interface.
Okala's expert gap analysis and guidance have greatly advanced Fura’s progress towards reaching our sustainability goals. Their professionalism and insight into biodiversity and carbon management exceeded our expectations.
Okala delivered cutting edge biodiversity, carbon and social baselines to understand how a 300,000 ha forestry concession in Gabon could be managed for sustainable development.
The full service - from fieldwork to reporting - was excellent. We look forward to working with Okala again.
Minimising biodiversity impact is an increasing challenge for our sector. Okala provided unrivalled transparency and reporting for our early-stage industrial project in Rwanda.
Okala delivered high-quality biodiversity baselines in just six months using eDNA, bioacoustics and camera traps. Their work will allow us to calculate the biodiversity value of the forest to inform land-management.
