gaia.eco is built for professionals working in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) analytics, sustainable urban design, and sustainability reporting. The platform provides on-demand biodiversity data for any geographical location and timeframe, drawing on billions of species observations, millions of documented biotic relationships, images and articles.

The platform is designed to simplify complex ecological data and accelerate workflows for compliance with regulatory frameworks such as ESRS and CSRD.

Core Capabilities

Comprehensive biodiversity database. gaia.eco aggregates billions of species observations spanning flora, fauna, microbial life, and viruses. Data can be filtered by region and time period, enabling precise ecological analysis tailored to specific projects.

Ecological relationship mapping. Rather than cataloguing species presence alone, gaia.eco models biotic relationships — predator-prey dynamics, parasite-host interactions, and pollinator networks. This relationship-centred approach provides a more holistic view of ecosystem health and interdependence.

Multilingual support. Biodiversity data is traditionally catalogued using Latin nomenclature, which creates a barrier for many practitioners. gaia.eco supports over 30 natural languages, enabling users to search and interpret data in their preferred language.

Use Cases

ESG Analytics and Reporting

gaia.eco provides targeted biodiversity data and analysis tools to support ESG reporting under ESRS and CSRD frameworks. Analysts can retrieve location-specific ecological data, assess biodiversity risks, and generate evidence-based inputs for compliance documents. The platform's scale — billions of data points with integrated relationship mapping — reduces the time required to gather and interpret environmental data.

Blue-green Urban Design

Urban designers working on blue and green infrastructure projects can use gaia.eco to conduct detailed ecological assessments for specific sites. The platform supports data collection on local species populations and their interactions, informing the design of urban spaces that account for existing ecosystems and biodiversity targets.

Environmental Impact Assessment

Environmental consultants can use gaia.eco to establish ecological baselines for proposed developments. By querying species occurrence and biotic relationship data for a given area and time period, teams can identify sensitive ecological networks and assess potential impacts before project execution.

Council with gaia.eco before you buy a plot of land, design a master plan, or are about to chop down forests.

Biodiversity Monitoring

Organisations with ongoing biodiversity commitments can use the platform to track ecological changes over time. Repeated queries for the same geographic area across different time periods enable trend analysis on shifting presence of species.

Getting Started

New users can create an Illuminum account on the gaia.eco platform. Onboarding credits are provided to explore the platform's capabilities and begin biodiversity analysis immediately.

Key Differentiators

• Relationship-first data model — focuses on ecological interactions rather than species presence alone, offering richer analytical depth.

• Language accessibility — 30+ language support removes the barrier with Latin nomenclature.

• Regulatory alignment — tools and data outputs are designed to support ESRS and CSRD compliance requirements.

• Scale — billions of observations and millions of biotic relationships available on demand for any location and timeframe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of biodiversity data does gaia.eco provide? The platform offers species occurrence records and biotic relationship data covering flora, fauna, microbial life, and viruses. Data is linked through ecological interactions including predation, parasitism, and pollination.

How does gaia.eco handle the language challenge in biodiversity data? A built-in translator supports over 30 languages, allowing users to search and work with data that is traditionally recorded in Latin nomenclature.

Can gaia.eco support ESRS and CSRD compliance? Yes. The platform provides location-specific biodiversity data and analytical tools designed to produce inputs for sustainability reporting under these frameworks.

Is the platform suitable for urban infrastructure projects? Yes. gaia.eco supports ecological data collection and analysis at the site level, making it applicable to blue and green infrastructure design and planning.
