Measure
Remotely baseline the carbon storage and sequestration, biodiversity and hydrology of any landscape at a 5m-30m resolution with our world leading models.
Enhance
Set goals and design interventions to maximise environmental impact and financial returns.
Value
Estimate opportunities for carbon and biodiversity credits. Quantify nature related risks such as flooding and water scarcity.
Report
Deliver audit-ready, investor-grade reporting aligned with the latest industry standards.

Why natcap research?
Our models are the most detailed, accurate and scientifically rigorous on the market
Scientific Rigor
Founded by Professor Kathy Willis of Oxford University, over 75% of our team are leading scientists from top Universities.
Ease of use
Our baseline models provide instant results and outputs can be tailored to integrate seamlessly into your internal processes and systems.
Breadth
We offer global coverage with market-leading model accuracy and results available at fine resolutions (5m-30m).
Our Models
1
Biodiversity: Our estimates of biodiversity move beyond habitat importance and protected areas and include connectivity between native habitats.
2
Vegetation carbon: Our estimates of above-ground biomass carbon storage and sequestration use industry lidar scanners to measure canopy height.
3
Soil organic carbon: Our remote estimates of soil organic carbon storage and sequestration can operate at up to 5m resolution at 30cm depth
4
Additional models: Pollination, flood risk, water quality and soil erosion provide broad coverage across most elements of natural capital.
Who natcap helps
We work with clients across industries and geographies
Voluntary carbon markets
