Biodiversity Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV)

Gentian's MRV services combine high-resolution satellite imagery, AI classification, and expert ecology input to quantify and monitor biodiversity performance at scale. Our platform can detect habitat type, measure change, estimate condition, and provide consistent outputs year-on-year.
Our data is designed to support regulatory disclosures such as TNFD and supports habitat classification schemes like UKHab, EUNIS, and IUCN, ensuring flexibility and global relevance.

• Establish baselines for habitat type and condition
• Monitor changes in land cover and ecosystem quality
• Report consistently to regulators, investors, or the public
• Verify claims of ecological uplift or mitigation

What have been the challenges of MRV?

Historically, biodiversity MRV has faced barriers including fragmented data sources, lack of repeatability, and high costs of field-based monitoring. Aligning methods across sites and frameworks has also been difficult. Gentian addresses these challenges by offering remote, scalable, and standardised solutions built for global use.

Gentian provides a biodiversity MRV solution that balances ecological rigour with commercial flexibility. We bring together our ecological expert backed data with user-focused delivery, enabling both technical teams and executive stakeholders to access and act on robust biodiversity insights. Our platform supports everything from early-stage baselining to long-term impact verification, making it suitable for sustainability reporting, biodiversity credit validation, and conservation programme evaluation alike.
