Supporting Nature Investment Decisions
Audit-grade nature mapping data to support all phases of project development and investment.
Trusted by the nature-based market
Our Approach
The data and insights we provide are used by groups who all share a common goal: to achieve zero deforestation and mass restoration and tackle the climate emergency.
We support this through the provision of highly accurate data on forest coverage and carbon storage that is required to ensure transparency into the impact of nature-based solutions.
Our process is rooted in decades of research and experience, combining geospatial data analysis and ecologist expertise in a machine learning framework to produce accurate data at geographical scale.

ACCURACY IN ACTION
Supporting the Technical Assessment of High Integrity Projects with High Accuracy Data
“We were using open source data sets to investigate historic deforestation of the projects, the leakage, and reference areas, which was really challenging because these data sets aren’t locally calibrated and so they have quite a high likelihood of error. Uncertainty in these datasets is also exacerbated in specific regions.”
“We really just wanted the highest quality data for our clients to be able to really give them confidence in supporting the REDD+ projects we represent. So that’s what brought us to Space Intelligence.”
