How does it work?
At Gentian, we’ve combined advanced satellite technology, cutting-edge artificial intelligence, and ecological expertise to create an unparalleled system for mapping and understanding nature.
Our AI-powered models analyze high-resolution satellite imagery to deliver detailed, accurate insights into habitats, vegetation, and biodiversity at scale. Designed to uncover what’s often invisible to the human eye, our technology identifies critical ecological patterns—from individual trees and green roofs to entire habitats—enabling organizations to monitor change, assess risks, and drive informed action with confidence.
Every insight undergoes rigorous quality assurance to ensure unmatched accuracy, providing data that integrates seamlessly into existing systems and supports smarter, faster decision-making for a resilient, nature-positive future.
Our legacy
Our journey began by helping local governments uncover the role of green roofs in supporting biodiversity and strengthening climate resilience. United by a commitment to understanding the truth about nature, Gentian has since expanded its expertise to diverse habitats around the globe.
Today, Gentian’s AI-powered tools empower a diverse range of global companies, government organisations and local authorities to see, map, and monitor vital ecosystems—turning ecological complexity into clear insights that protect nature and inform human progress.
With Gentian, corporate leaders can confidently deliver trusted, transparent, and accurate impact reports that align with global ESG frameworks and regulations such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), driving action toward a resilient, nature-positive future.
