The Nature Foundry
The world's most powerful, AI-powered nature data warehouse. Measure natural capital anywhere in the world, with scientific precision, continuously, down to the square kilometer.
Nature data superpowers.
Holistic
Nature's complexity demands a complex and all-encompassing perspective. We assess its health through four vital dimensions: biodiversity, carbon, soil, and water.
Scalability + Accuracy
By leveraging remote sensing and ground data collection to feed our models, we are able to collect nature capital data at scale with scientific accuracy.
Dynamic Data
The Nature Foundry continuously monitors what is happening on the ground, providing a timely insights into the state of nature.
A robust methodology.
Our measurement models track how natural capital - biodiversity, carbon, water and soil - evolves over time. We partner with multiple trusted data providers. Our models are reviewed by independent scientists, statistically validated and certified.
Data sources
Data is retrieved through two primary sources: remote sensing (satellite observations) and measurement on the ground.
Modelling
Models interpret raw data, simulating ecosystem processes, and making predictions about future environmental conditions.
Measurements
Models produce indicators categorized across four dimensions: soil, water, carbon, biodiversity.

Measure what matters.
We select what indicators to develop based on business relevance. Nature data can be overwhelming, we try to simplify it for you.
Biodiversity is a measure of the richness of nature. It’s the backbone to the ecosystems that allow us to flourish.

Carbon is the building block of life. It regulates temperature, makes up the food we eat, and is a key energy source.

Soil supports and nurtures all growing plants. It purifies our water, protects us against flooding and combats drought.
Water is essential for the planet to flourish. It creates and sustains the ecosystems on which life depends.

We work with leading scientific institutions
We have assembled an scientific board, comprised of leading academics and scientists from across the world. Before we build any models, this board helps us to define the scope of selected models and the criteria for scientific robustness. After we have developed models, this board conducts a methods review to validate their quality and suitability.
