Abstract

Environmental DNA (eDNA) has opened promising avenues for establishing standardized, cost-efficient monitoring of biodiversity. However, comprehensive and systematic implementation is urgently needed to address the current biodiversity crisis. Here, we envision a global eDNA biomonitoring scheme, which could potentially revolutionize the understanding and conservation of life on Earth.
