Endangered Wildlife Trust - eDNA by Samantha Mynhardt Dr Mynhardt’s pioneering work with environmental DNA reflects a transformative vision for conservation. By adapting eDNA techniques, traditionally used in marine biology, to terrestrial environments, she has developed a non-invasive, efficient method to detect and monitor elusive species. Collaborating with the Endangered Wildlife Trust and South African universities, Dr Mynhardt’s work advances scientific knowledge and trains young scientists and community members in eDNA techniques Inverroche Bee&Bee of #GridWorldwide Solitary Bees pollinate 1/3 of the world’s food crops. They don’t live in hives, but in naturally occurring holes like decaying trees and riverbanks. Due to urbanisation, their nesting grounds are fast disappearing. Inverroche appreciates that these bees pollinate their Gin’s key ingredient Fynbos, so they designed innovative packaging for their bottles which after use can act as Bee Hotels that mimic Solitary Bee’s natural nesting grounds.
