Eavesdropping on Nature to Protect its Future

Biodiversity faces unprecedented threats, with a staggering 69% decline in global species populations since 1970. To combat this crisis, UN is rallying behind the "30 by 30" initiative, aiming to protect 30% of Earth's lands and oceans by 2030.

At veritree, we're doing our part to help advance and achieve this goal. We harness cutting-edge technology to monitor, understand, and restore biodiversity, support ecosystem restoration and promote wildlife conservation, providing critical insights into ecosystem health.

Monitoring Nature's Pulse

veritree is deploying advanced technologies providing critical insights into ecosystem health.

Bioaccoustics

Birds are excellent indicators of ecosystem health because they quickly respond to changes like habitat loss, pollution, or climate shifts, giving us early warnings when something is wrong. Our bioacoustic sensors capture their songs and calls, which we analyze using machine learning and public databases like the IUCN. This allows us to track changes in biodiversity over time.

Tree Vision Trail Cameras

Through Tree Vision we use cutting-edge, in-field cameras to track changes to biodiversity. These cameras record time-lapse videos of moving wildlife, changing seasons and tree growth.

DNA Barcoding

Research & Development Underway

DNA barcoding identifies organisms by analyzing short, standardized DNA segments unique to each species. Like human fingerprints, these genetic "barcodes" serve as molecular identification markers. By comparing an unknown specimen's barcode sequence to a reference database, scientists can accurately determine its species identity. veritree is working to understand fungi and microbes in the soil to understand biodiversity and soil health change over time.

The Power of Biodiversity

Monitor Species Trends

Track the abundance and distribution of key species over time, identifying population changes and potential threats.

Detect Threats

Identify early warning signs of habitat degradation, pollution, or invasive species, enabling proactive conservation measures.

Assess Restoration

Evaluate the effectiveness of restoration by monitoring biodiversity improvements, habitat recovery, and species abundance.

Local Wildlife in Our Projects

Discover the diverse wildlife thriving in our project areas.

Canadian Moose

A Canadian Moose, with its impressive antlers and ability to thrive in diverse habitats, was spotted at our Sawle Lake site! This sighting highlights the positive impact of our restoration work.

Hippopotamus

A hippo in Tanzania was recently spotted taking a luxurious mud bath. These water-loving giants use mud to keep cool and protect their skin from the sun. It's a joy to see them thriving in their restored habitat!

White-headed Vulture

The White-headed Vulture, with its distinctive appearance and crucial role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem, is a resident of our agroforestry site in Senegal.

Salmon

Salmon is a keystone species, vital to the health of the ecosystem and deeply connected to the cultural heritage of Indigenous communities. Witnessing their return to restored waterways is a powerful reminder of the positive impact we can create together.
