The impact
Application and Action
We engage with "leverage" organizations (e.g. development banks) to apply our work in cases where it could make a big difference to people, climate, and biodiversity at regional, national, and international scales. Illuminating the role that nature can play as a solution to major development challenges. Helping decision-makers bridge the gap from concept to action. Improving the uptake of ecosystem service science for sustainable development and climate action. Doing all of this through the development of cutting-edge geospatial analytics.
