Keep the living world counted, mapped, and defended.

Species, habitats, and the pressures on them — observed from space, sensors, and the people on the ground.

§ the problem

What goes unmeasured goes unprotected.

Most biodiversity loss happens out of sight — in places too remote, too vast, or too under-resourced to monitor. Naturecode brings satellite signals, edge sensors, and community observation into one living record so that change is seen as it happens, not years later.

§ 01 · intelligence

Agents that watch every ecosystem

Naturecode runs named, accountable agents that turn raw satellite and sensor feeds into plain-language change detection — deforestation alerts, habitat loss, bleaching, recovery.

01

Change detection from orbit

Agents compare satellite time-series against baselines to flag forest loss, fire scars, and vegetation stress, then narrate what changed and where.

02

Acoustic & camera signals

Bioacoustic and camera-trap streams are classified at the edge and folded into the species record for each place.

03

Foundation models for Earth

Open geospatial foundation models give a shared feature layer for habitat and land-cover mapping at fine resolution.

§ 02 · provenance

Every observation carries its proof

Each record is attributed to the sensor, satellite, or person that collected it, with a tamper-evident trail buyers and regulators can trust.

01

Lineage to the source

Observations are versioned and traceable end to end, so a credit or a claim can always be checked against the evidence behind it.

02

Community-governed data

The community closest to an ecosystem decides how its data is shared, licensed, and rewarded — recorded transparently.

03

Outcome-backed credits

Verified biodiversity outcomes can be issued as high-integrity credits, settled automatically to the stewards who earned them.

§ 03 · open

Built on open Earth data

Naturecode builds on the world's open environmental data and contributes its observations and methods back to the commons.

01

Global Forest Watch

Near-real-time forest loss and deforestation alerts anchor the forest record for every watched ecosystem.

02

Copernicus & Sentinel

Free, open satellite imagery from the EU's Copernicus programme underpins habitat and land-cover analysis.

03

Open biodiversity records

Species occurrence data is cross-linked so observations strengthen the shared planetary record.

§ 04 · programs

Stewardship, equipped

Tools mean little without the people who use them. Naturecode trains and supports the communities, rangers, and organizations doing the work.

01

Field training

Hands-on programs help community organizers and rangers run their own monitoring and read the signals that matter.

02

Open challenges

Skill-building challenges generate labeled data that improves the models and is contributed back to the open commons.

03

Steward funding

Programs route funding to the communities maintaining ecosystems, settled against verified outcomes.
