Problem
Quantifying the complex relationships within natural landscapes and built environments to inform ecological benefit and natural capital accounting is a significant challenge. This complexity hinders data-driven decision-making and accurate progress verification for environmental initiatives.
Solution
Ecosystem Intelligence provides a platform that translates intricate ecological relationships into quantifiable measurements, enabling data-driven decision-making for ecological benefit and natural capital accounting. The platform supports design analysis, progress verification, and reporting for regulatory and ESG mandates. It utilizes a common unit of measure to facilitate high-level performance estimation and detailed design analysis, providing tangible proof of progress. The user-friendly interface is designed for users of all skill levels, regardless of their ecological background.
Target Audience
The platform serves environmental consultants, urban planners, landscape architects, and corporate sustainability officers who require quantitative data for ecological assessments, design optimization, and ESG reporting.
Features
- **Screening Module:** Rapidly identify performance gaps in natural landscapes and built environments to inform budgeting and design scope.
- **Design Module:** Apply site-level data and proposed interventions to model and maximize ecological benefits.
- **Ecosystem Services Cascade Modeling:** Quantifies ecosystem service benefit production and underlying functional processes, including attributes, functions, production, flows, and value.
- **Field Data Integration:** Supports the collection and aggregation of on-the-ground field data via a guided mobile app for accurate site condition assessment.
- **Biome-Tuned Benchmarks:** Utilizes a global dataset of field-collected data to provide reference benchmarks tailored to specific site biomes and landcover types.
- **Intervention Scenario Analysis:** Allows toggling between different intervention scenarios to evaluate design impacts and benefits against reference conditions.
- **Reporting Capabilities:** Generates visual reports on generalized ecosystem performance, supporting regulatory, ESG, and other mandate disclosures.
- **Natural Capital Accounting:** Enables measurement and verification of natural capital asset condition using on-the-ground feature data.
