BIOSPHERE INTELLIGENCE

Nature, decoded.

Tackle your nature-related challenges, powered by our AI platform and expert network.

Start nowContact KEA

Compliance, risk and value creation in nature look different for every company, site and moment. We start where you are and build what's missing.

Solutions

Demonstrate No Net Loss and Net Gain with traceable evidence.

Mining

Environmental planning & habitat recovery

Technical biodiversity evidence for mining

No Net Loss and Net Gain evidence, for your next milestone.

Strengthen the biodiversity studies and monitoring behind IFC PS6, ICMM, Veramark (Copper Mark), LME and TSM, or build what is missing.

Explore No Net Loss

Every stage of the mine

  • New projects & expansions
  • Operating mines
  • Closure & rehabilitation

What KEA brings

Quantify biodiversity losses and gains

Compare residual losses and gains using habitat or species metrics, accounting for uncertainty and recovery timelines.

Prepare evidence for review

Bring traceable data, methods and assumptions together for due diligence by lenders, authorities and auditors.

Latin American specialists for the hardest calls

Specialists from across the region take the judgment calls in the ecosystems they know, from high-Andean wetlands to tropical forest. KEA's science is guided by Carlos Nobre, its Founding Chief Scientific Advisor.

Independent or alongside your team

Engage KEA as an independent reviewer of existing studies, or embed our specialists in your environmental team to build and run the record.

De-risk EUDR.

Supply chains

Deforestation-free sourcing

Illustrative example: a mapped production plot with an area under land-use review, linked to a product batch. Risk conclusion not yet established.

EUDR COMPLIANCE

De-risk EUDR. From any starting point.

Prepare before the December 2026 deadline.

WHO THIS IS FOR

  • EU Operators & Traders
  • Latin American Producers & Suppliers

What KEA brings

Strengthen your EUDR program

From first plot maps to a program already filing: we test plots, suppliers and evidence against what a competent-authority check would ask for, and take it to an audit-ready statement.

Rigor where reviews are decided

Shade-grown cocoa, conflicting forest maps, fire and drifting boundaries. Our models isolate each hard case; a regional specialist makes the call and records why.

Latin American science at origin

Specialists across the region read the permits, registries and landscapes behind each plot. KEA's science is guided by Carlos Nobre, its Founding Chief Scientific Advisor.

Built to be reused

The same verified plot record can later support FSC, PEFC, Rainforest Alliance, or ISCC review.

Move permits forward.

Data centers

Environmental assessment

ENVIRONMENTAL LICENSING & NATURE RISK

Move data center permits forward.

Build the water, biodiversity and site evidence that moves permits and investment decisions forward.

WHO THIS IS FOR

  • Site Selection & Permitting
  • Operating Campuses & Expansions

What KEA brings

Built for the local process

Map the competent authorities, terms of reference and separate authorizations with your permitting advisers. Connect each requirement to a study, responsible party and project dependency.

Water read as a living system

Separate water withdrawal from consumption. Assess seasonal pressures, watershed condition and downstream users alongside the source and demand studies led by your engineering team.

One evidence base, many decisions

Connect field observations and documented methods to permitting, lender diligence and corporate reporting. Identify where each decision needs additional studies rather than assuming one survey answers every question.

Latin American specialists on site

Hydrologists, ecologists and licensing specialists based where the campus is sited, who know the local process and the landscape. KEA's science is guided by Carlos Nobre, its Founding Chief Scientific Advisor.

Make better lending decisions, asset by asset.

Banking

Nature-related credit risk

NATURE RISK FOR BANKS

Know where nature risk meets your balance sheet.

For prudential risk, disclosure and credit decisions across jurisdictions.

WHO THIS IS FOR

  • ESG & prudential risk teams
  • Credit & client teams

What KEA brings

Connect counterparty and asset data to source layers, scores and review history, so each result can be traced.

Investigation priorities at portfolio scale

Rank counterparties by sector, location, ecosystem dependencies and pressures, separating physical from transition nature risk.

Asset-level location analysis

Link borrowers to their farms, mines, mills and plantations, each with a location-confidence level, and overlay protected and priority biodiversity areas, forest loss and water stress.

Inputs risk models can use

Dependency and impact scores per asset, mapped to transmission channels such as collateral value and counterparty default risk, ready for policies, origination and scenario analysis.

A supervisory audit trail

Methodology as code: every score is reproducible and documented for supervisors, internal audit and the board, including data lineage and proxy use, disclosed where estimates replace observations.

Reduce wildlife hazards.

Airports

Ecology & habitat management

WILDLIFE & NATURE RISK FOR AIRPORTS

Keep wildlife off the airfield, and prove it.

Continuous detection with configurable response workflows, in one audit-ready record for safety and compliance.

Explore airports

WHO THIS IS FOR

  • Safety & operations teams
  • Sustainability & environmental teams

What KEA brings

Follow observations, assessments and responses in a shared history for safety and environmental teams.

Detect around the clock.

Cameras, sensors and bioacoustics record wildlife activity on and around the movement area, day and night, with species identified where conditions allow.

Species-aware deterrence.

Signals chosen for the species and the location, triggered by detection and always under operator control, within the airport’s approved procedures.

Every event becomes evidence.

Each detection and response is logged into a versioned, reproducible record that feeds the hazard assessments in your aerodrome SMS.

One data layer, two uses.

The same observations support the runway and the environmental inventory a master plan or impact assessment needs, with additional sampling where the inventory requires it.

Biosphere intelligence infrastructure for decisions at scale.

A real-time source of truth for natural capital. The evidence regulators, lenders and buyers need now.
