Eirú. Biodiversity MRV for ecosystem restoration
Why We Support This Project
“One third of climate mitigation needed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement can be provided by Nature-based Solutions”
“By protecting an additional 335–466 million hectares of forest, we could avoid 5.55–8.83 Gt of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by 2050”
“Agriculture is the largest single source of environmental degradation and the single largest driver of biodiversity loss”
How It Works
Eirú developed a proprietary monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) system for biodiversity health, focusing on pollinators and plants. Using satellite imagery and IoT devices, it assesses site conditions, tracks trends, and predicts the impact of sustainable practices through simulation modeling.
Primary SDG
Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.Target SDG Addressed
15.1 By 2020, ensure the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services, in particular forests, wetlands, mountains and drylands, in line with obligations under international agreements.
15.2. By 2020, promote the implementation of sustainable management of all types of forests, halt deforestation, restore degraded forests and substantially increase afforestation and reforestation globally.Type of Impact
Regeneration.Impact Measurement
Hectares under monitoring.
"By using decades of scientific studies on how bees move and make decisions, we have created a model that, when analyzing a landscape, can predict where they will be, how many flowers they will pollinate, and how much they will contribute to crop production"
