Company Description

Problem

Organizations focused on conservation and land management struggle to efficiently and accurately assess biodiversity, habitat conditions, and climate-related risks across large areas. Traditional ecological surveys are time-consuming, costly, and lack the consistent, objective data needed for effective decision-making. This makes it difficult to meet biodiversity net gain (BNG) requirements, inform climate resilience strategies, and monitor environmental changes over time.

Solution

Map Impact provides high-resolution geospatial data and analytics that leverage AI and satellite earth observation to deliver actionable insights on biodiversity and climate risk. Their platform offers on-demand access to biodiversity scores, habitat condition assessments, and climate risk data (heat stress, wildfire susceptibility, and drought risk) across Great Britain. By integrating satellite-derived indices, historical data, and topographical characteristics, Map Impact enables users to screen sites, optimize BNG planning, and monitor changes in environmental conditions. This allows for quantifiable analysis of ecological characteristics, identification of vulnerable areas, and informed decision-making for land use management, conservation efforts, and climate resilience strategies.
