Gentian

Founded 2020

Map habitats and track biodiversity metrics using high-resolution satellite imagery

You can use Gentian to map habitats and monitor biodiversity remotely using satellite imagery. It analyzes high-resolution satellite photos to classify vegetation types, measure canopy cover, and track invasive species without requiring on-site fieldwork. Teams can conduct remote Phase 1 ecological surveys, calculate Biodiversity Net Gain baselines for property developments, and evaluate peatland conditions. Gentian also produces standardized environmental audit data to assist with corporate sustainability disclosures, supporting requirements for CSRD compliance, ESG reporting, and Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures across worldwide land portfolios.
