Wilderlab is an environmental DNA (eDNA) testing lab based in Wellington, New Zealand. The company's easy-to-use eDNA sampling kits and lab-testing service allow more New Zealanders to discover the full range of species living in and around streams.
Wilderlab is one of the most promising solutions for improving New Zealand's water quality. It uses science to verify the complexities of ecosystem changes and provides non-intrusive information about species living in a habitat without locating them.
As living creatures move through their environment, they shed small genetic material called DNA. By filtering this material out of the water, it is possible to identify organisms living in an area providing scientific evidence to help understand the health of the water and the taonga species it supports. While this type of testing cannot tell conservationists how many eels may be living in a local stream, it can detect species up to four kilometers away and provide information about the health of the habitat.
Wilderlab contributes to three of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- Goal 15: Life on Land. Wilderlab’s eDNA kits and testing services help protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage and improve stream health, preserve biodiversity, and can be used to inform remediation of ecosystems.
- Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. Clean Water and Sanitation. The world’s water-related ecosystems are being degraded, and in New Zealand, four out of five Kiwis are concerned about freshwater quality (StatsNZ, 2019). Wilderlab provides the kits and testing capabilities to help Kiwis to understand their waterways better to protect and improve water quality for future generations.
- Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being. Wilderlab’s ecosystem-scale analysis services can be used as an integrated outcome tool for pollutants and biological sources of contamination to identify how the ecosystem responds.
