Problem
Ecosystem restoration projects generate site data in varied formats from multiple agencies, with studies, calculations, and drawings dispersed across drives and email threads. When original team members move on, the evidence behind key decisions becomes difficult to locate, slowing down project work and undermining continuity.
Solution
Orenna centralizes site data, project knowledge, and team decisions into one persistent project record, making the reasoning behind actions available as work progresses. Users can upload a project boundary to automatically assemble available public data on terrain, hydrology, soils, habitats, and other site conditions from various agencies. The platform lets teams review findings, evaluate source coverage, and track which interventions were investigated, ensuring that evidence remains accessible and actionable. By linking analysis directly to underlying materials, Orenna preserves institutional context and keeps decision-making transparent throughout the project lifecycle.
Target Audience
Primary users are ecosystem restoration project teams, including environmental scientists, restoration practitioners, and land management agencies that need to manage complex site data and maintain decision continuity across long-term projects.
