ZOOMETRICS, Smart metrics for smart cities
Urban biodiversity.
Let’s care for life in the city together.
Nature also lives in the city and needs people to care for it. With Zoometrics, your participation is amplified through tools that make it visible, connected, and effective—multiplying its impact to build greener, more diverse, and more sustainable communities.
ZOOMETRICS, WHAT WE PROTECT
What is urban biodiversity?
Urban biodiversity is the life that surrounds and sustains our cities: the trees that purify the air, the birds that regulate ecosystems, and the flora and fauna that make our streets and neighborhoods more livable. It is a shared heritage that directly impacts public health, climate resilience, and quality of life for everyone.
Caring for it is not the task of a few—it is a shared responsibility among governments, technical professionals, volunteers, and citizens. Every action contributes to building more sustainable communities that are better prepared for the future. Cuidarla no es tarea de unos pocos: es una responsabilidad compartida entre gobiernos, técnicos, voluntarios y ciudadanía. Cada acción suma para construir comunidades más sostenibles y preparadas para el futuro.
Those whom people often call volunteers, caregivers, or engaged neighbors, at Zoometrics we recognize as environmental guardians: people whose actions—often unnoticed—make this change possible. No contribution is too small: every report, every action, and every collaboration helps protect life in the city.

Animal welfare. When animals thrive, cities do too.
Caring for urban animals is not only an ethical responsibility—it improves public health, strengthens ecosystems, and fosters coexistence. With Zoometrics, every action in support of animal welfare contributes to the balance of the city.
Europe. A pioneering legal framework for more sustainable cities.
Europe is leading the way with laws and strategies that place biodiversity at the center: Ley 7/2023 de bienestar animal (Spain’s Animal Welfare Act), the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030, the European Green Deal, and the One Health approach.
These advances are recognized worldwide as best practices and open up new opportunities—such as biodiversity credits—to reward those who care for life in the city.
ZOOMETRICS SUITE
The Zoometrics suite brings together the people who look after urban biodiversity: municipalities and organizations that manage their data, people who take part from their own neighbourhood, and teams that do research.
Each tool solves one part (feral cat colonies, the census of companion animals, urban wildlife, urban flora, fostering and adoption) and all of them rely on sourced data and transparent decisions.
Here you will find how to take part, the organizations working with the suite, the science it builds on and the latest from the blog.
A community built on data, science and people.
