The problem

Nature evidence for individual sites is still slow and expensive

Organisations increasingly need to understand how forests, farms, restoration projects, supplier locations and land investments interact with nature. But evidence for a specific location still depends heavily on fragmented datasets, specialist GIS work and custom reporting.

Most teams choose between scores that are too coarse and assessments that are too slow. VerdeSat provides the practical first layer between those two extremes.

Too coarse

High-level nature scores

Useful for initial orientation, but often too broad for decisions about a specific place.

Too slow

Bespoke GIS and ecology projects

More detailed, but difficult to repeat across many locations, customers or reporting cycles.

The workflow

From land boundary to decision-ready Evidence Pack in minutes

  1. 01

    Upload the land boundary

    Upload the boundary of a forest, farm, restoration project or other area you need to assess.

  2. 02

    Run the analysis

    VerdeSat processes satellite imagery, land-cover information and relevant contextual data through its analytics platform.

  3. 03

    Receive the Evidence Pack

    Review the AI summary and recommendations, maps, metric breakdowns, vegetation history, methods, limitations and data lineage.

  4. 04

    Make the next decision

    Compare sites, identify potential concerns, monitor change, brief a consultant or decide where deeper investigation is justified.

The product

Many land assets. One report. A clearer next step.

VerdeSat translates complex geospatial data into outputs that non-GIS teams can review, compare and reuse.

Live today

Site & environmental context

Country, administrative region, climate zone, ecoregion, biome and source-specific sensitive-area context such as distance to Protected Areas where applicable.

Live today

Land-cover history

Mapped composition, dominant classes, historical snapshots, change between observation years and land-cover history visualisation.

Live today

Vegetation & EO history

Annual satellite composites plus vegetation time series and annual signals, including NDVI and MSAVI in the standard report.

Proprietary scoring layer

B-Score

A transparent 0–100 screening summary built from natural land-cover intactness, land-cover heterogeneity and fragmentation condition.

Live today

Evidence Pack

A downloadable customer-facing report combining maps, metrics, contextual evidence, selected reporting-framework mapping, methods and provenance.

Live today

Machine-readable evidence

Structured evidence and lineage outputs for further analysis, QA and downstream integration alongside the human-readable report.

Use cases

One analysis engine. Several practical workflows.

Corporate sustainability and risk teams

Problem
Nature-related reporting and internal risk requests are increasing, but many teams lack fast evidence for specific assets, projects and supplier locations.
VerdeSat helps
Screen owned assets, project locations, supplier footprints and land exposure before commissioning deeper analysis.
Typical output
Evidence Packs for internal reviews, prioritisation, reporting support and consultant briefing.

Environmental and biodiversity consultancies

Problem
Expert time is often consumed by repetitive data collection, GIS preprocessing and baseline report preparation.
VerdeSat helps
Standardise first-pass assessment and baseline preparation so specialists can focus on interpretation, fieldwork and client recommendations.
Typical output
Repeatable baseline reports, maps, metrics and client-ready supporting material.

Restoration and land-management actors

Problem
Projects need credible and repeatable evidence of vegetation and landscape-condition change.
VerdeSat helps
Track vegetation dynamics, land-cover change and landscape-condition signals across reporting periods.
Typical output
Monitoring updates and reports for funders, partners and internal management.

Investors, lenders and real-asset owners

Problem
Nature and land-use concerns are often identified too late in the investment process.
VerdeSat helps
Compare individual land assets before deeper expert diligence or capital allocation.
Typical output
Comparable indicators for individual assets, evidence-backed risk flags and a clear basis for further investigation.
Impact

Faster evidence changes what gets protected

VerdeSat exists to make nature evidence cheap enough and fast enough to be used routinely — because decisions about land are made whether or not the evidence arrives in time.

More land assessed

Sites that would never justify a bespoke GIS project now get a consistent nature assessment, widening the share of land under observation.

Better restoration decisions

Vegetation and land-cover change is tracked across reporting periods, so restoration effort and funding follow evidence rather than assumption.

Nature earlier in capital decisions

Comparable indicators arrive before capital is committed, moving nature from a late-stage check to an input in the decision itself.

Expert time where it counts

Automating first-pass screening frees ecologists and GIS specialists for interpretation, fieldwork and recommendations.

Science and methods

Transparent by design

VerdeSat combines satellite-derived vegetation dynamics with land-cover structure and contextual geospatial information.

Every report carries its data sources, indicator definitions, method information and lineage, so results can be checked, defended and reused.

Core data foundation

Sentinel-2 vegetation observations, annual land-cover data, Natural Earth location context, Köppen–Geiger climate, RESOLVE ecoregions and source-specific contextual data.

Transparent B-Score

A reproducible screening summary with explicit component definitions for land-cover intactness, heterogeneity and fragmentation condition.

Selected reporting mappings

Site evidence can be mapped to selected parts of ESRS E4, GRI 101 and TNFD LEAP to support downstream reporting and review workflows.

Why VerdeSat

A reusable nature-evidence system, not another one-off map

Focused workflow

Land boundary in, structured Evidence Pack out.

Richer site evidence

Location, environmental context, land-cover history, vegetation signals, landscape metrics and the B-Score are assembled in one workflow.

Traceable outputs

Methods, source versions, provenance and machine-readable evidence travel with the report so results can be reviewed and reused.

Reusable analytical core

The Evidence Pack is generated from a shared Earth-observation and geospatial analytics platform rather than a one-off reporting script.

Built for repeat monitoring

A consistent site evidence contract creates the foundation for longitudinal monitoring, standards-mapped workflows and portfolio-scale products.

The story

Built from direct experience with environmental satellite analytics

VerdeSat was founded by Andy Dara, a remote-sensing scientist and a co-founder of CarbonSpace.

During his PhD in remote sensing and land-cover change at Humboldt University of Berlin, Andy worked on turning complex satellite observations into usable environmental evidence. At CarbonSpace, he later helped build satellite analytics for carbon fluxes in agriculture and forestry.

Customers repeatedly asked whether similar technology could also support biodiversity decisions. VerdeSat was created to turn that recurring demand into a focused, operational product.

Andy Dara, founder of VerdeSat

“The problem is not a lack of environmental data. It is turning fragmented data and specialist workflows into evidence that decision-makers can actually use.”
