Bridging government, business and academia, with an understanding of all three.

CEO message
From Japan to the world,
we will give strong momentum
to achieving nature positive.
Biodiversity is the foundation that supports our society and economy, and one of the most important of all environmental issues. Even so, action on biodiversity lags far behind action on decarbonisation. We believe one reason is that there is still no established common yardstick for measuring biodiversity.
We make full use of reliable data based on field surveys (ground-truthing data) to build a system that lets anyone understand the state of nature simply and objectively. And from Japan to the world, we will give strong momentum to achieving nature positive.
