Biodiversity and Habitat Mapping in Infrastructure & Transport
Gentian helps infrastructure and transport organisations map and monitor biodiversity across railways, roads, and energy corridors safely, quickly, and at scale. Our AI-powered remote sensing platform delivers habitat and vegetation insights without the need for extensive fieldwork - reducing risk, cost, and downtime while supporting compliance with Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), and similar frameworks.

Map habitat changes safely
- Conducting surveys along railways and motorways can be hazardous and disruptive, with risks such as treefall, overgrown vegetation near power lines, and unsafe weather conditions.
- Traditional field surveys require costly manual access and temporary closures, increasing safety risks and operational downtime.
- Gentian’s AI and satellite-based mapping enables safe, remote biodiversity assessment across linear assets - reducing on-site risk, survey delays, and disruption to critical infrastructure.
Remote sensing technology for faster biodiversity mapping & reporting
- Manual ecological surveys across transport corridors are time-intensive and costly, often delayed by access restrictions and safety regulations.
- Gentian delivers rapid, repeatable, and high-quality habitat data using remote sensing and AI - aligned with UKHab, BNG, TNFD, and CSRD frameworks.
- Our platform accelerates data collection and reporting, helping teams prioritise fieldwork, allocate resources efficiently, and meet biodiversity and ESG targets on schedule.
Increased data reliability for your teams
-
Inconsistent or outdated biodiversity data can undermine environmental goals and compliance efforts, especially for large infrastructure portfolios.
-
Gentian provides consistent, verifiable datasets aligned with recognised biodiversity frameworks, ensuring traceability and regulatory readiness.
-
With reliable, repeatable baselines, sustainability and asset teams can make confident, data-driven decisions and track ecological change with precision.

Scalable pricing model for large-scale & linear projects
-
For major road, rail, or other projects, traditional ecological surveys can become prohibitively expensive as the footprint expands.
-
Gentian’s scalable pricing model reduces cost per hectare as project size increases, with bespoke pricing for complex or linear assets.
-
This makes biodiversity monitoring financially viable at scale - allowing infrastructure developers to manage costs without compromising on data accuracy or compliance.
Stay on track with changing regulations
-
Infrastructure and transport organisations face growing scrutiny to demonstrate nature-positive impact and regulatory compliance.
-
Gentian’s AI-driven biodiversity mapping aligns with frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
-
Our reliable, audit-ready data supports transparent reporting, helping businesses stay compliant, reduce reputational risk, and build stakeholder confidence.
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Assessments
