Map large habitats in a fraction of the time

  • Baseline hundreds or thousands of hectares quickly, including hard-to-access terrain and remote locations.
  • Reduce reliance on time-heavy field and drone surveys when scale, permits, or access are a blocker.
  • Keep projects moving with rapid turnarounds for feasibility, early-stage screening, and repeat monitoring.

BNG & habitat mapping data you can rely on

  • Habitat baselines aligned to UKHab and BNG needs, designed to slot into consultancy workflows.
  • Consistent, high-resolution outputs that help avoid messy, manual digitising and rework.
  • Export-ready deliverables that make it easier to integrate maps into reports and client packs.

Validated by in-house experts

  • Every high-definition map is quality-checked by in-house specialists before delivery, supporting confidence and consistency.
  • Built on training data collected by ecologists, with continuous improvement as more projects are delivered.
  • Transparent about what is and is not possible remotely, helping you set expectations and build trust.

Scalable pricing model for large-scale & linear projects

  • Cost-effective for large sites and linear corridors like rail, roads, and utilities.

  • Reduce cost per hectare at scale, especially where repeat monitoring would otherwise multiply survey spend.

  • Flexible task-based delivery, so you can price work competitively while protecting margin.

“Gentian is a very unique company, not only because they handle data with high precision (<50 cm resolution), which has been difficult to achieve with conventional remote sensing technology, but also because of their deep expertise in ecology. We are convinced that Gentian is a driving force in the two increasingly important areas of remote sensing and ecology, and an indispensable partner in these fields.”
