WHAT WE DO

Bioverse unlocks the value of tropical forests

Bioverse maps forest cover and species prevalence using advanced satellite, drone, and artificial intelligence technologies. We target high-value species and scale supply chains for nature-based solution project developers and the cosmetics and food industries.

 

Bioverse delivers a wide range of forest intelligence products and services for clients across the Amazon Basin and other tropical biomes. Bioverse improves the efficiency of non-timber forest product harvesting, verifies carbon and biodiversity credits, and supports forest regeneration efforts in the Americas, Africa and Asia.

APPROACH

Bioverse improves the efficiency of non-timber forest product harvesting, monitors, reports on, and verifies carbon and biodiversity credits, and supports forest regeneration efforts.
 

GENERATING PRECISION YIELD FORECASTING

Bioverse’s automated species identification and location platform improves the efficiency of harvesting activities. Bioverse has developed mobile applications to harness local knowledge, enhance transparency, and generate abundance maps that help communities and companies decide where to invest and scale production.

MONITORING, REPORTING AND VERIFYING CARBON AND BIODIVERSITY CREDITS

Bioverse validates carbon and biodiversity credits using high resolution satellite and drone imagery combined with machine learning algorithms. Bioverse’s experienced team draws on extensive knowledge about forest ecosystems to provide high integrity analytics and ensure first mover advantage. Bioverse has added multispectral capabilities to its fixed-wing drones to provide unparalleled insight.

GENERATING BIODIVERSITY ASSESSMENTS AND FOREST INTEGRITY MONITORING

Bioverse conducts rapid satellite-, drone- and on-site diagnostics to support a wide range of nature-based solutions. The team has conducted regional, national, subnational and hyper-local surveys combining remote sensing and acoustic technologies. Bioverse is also developing bioprospecting capabilities in partnership with leading companies and research institutes in the Amazon Basin.

OPPORTUNITIES

The economic value of tropical forests and nature are vastly under-priced. Less than 1% of all the species in the Amazon are actually known. There is tremendous potential to make sustainable and profitable use of rainforests that can benefit both people and the planet. 

 

Bioverse is focused on providing nature-based solutions providers with high grade services to quantify, monitor, value, and leverage biodiversity. We are working with private, public, and nonprofit groups to sustainably scale-up production of a range of high value nature-based products and expand the green economy. 

 

Bioverse uses satellite and drone imagery to unlock ultra high-resolution forest inventory services. Deep learning allows automation of species detection, scaling-up sustainable harvesting, and mapping impacts. Bioverse has already successfully 10x production by expanding and strengthening last mile supply chains in parts of the Amazon.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

guidance

Site selection guidance

For project developers, the right site selection is everything. Bioverse identifies areas for carbon or biodiversity projects where adding a NTFP component can potentially significantly increase project revenue.

yield

Yield forecasting and economics

Project developers need to understand the potential revenue of NTFP activities over time. Creating a modern and profitable supply chain depends on knowing the volumes going to market. Bioverse yield forecasts are informed by high resolution information down to each individual tree.

mobile

Mobile applications for harvesters

A key for supply chain clients is that Bioverse provides species location data in an accessible and intuitive way for their harvesters. The Bioverse Forest Map mobile application began as a simple species finder and is evolving into a powerful tool for yield forecasting and harvest coordination.

maps

Abundance Maps for food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries

Clients also value Bioverse Abundance Maps for making their own logistical investments, such as where to build processing and storage facilities or to increase yields. Bioverse maps take the risk out of these decisions.

Forest and biodiversity baselines and assessments

Bioverse-led Forest Inventories can also be used to set baselines for biodiversity assessments that are likely to be the cornerstone of emerging biodiversity credits and that are typically key to carbon credits.

MEDIA

Bioverse is a
leading-edge forest intelligence firm

Bioverse leverages advanced geospatial and artificial intelligence technologies to quantify biodiversity. Bioverse also works with indigenous and traditional communities and researchers from across the Amazon to ensure value is shared with local populations. The only way to protect and conserve the world’s largest tropical rainforest is by ensuring that there is more value attached to a standing forest than one that is cleared.
