Biodiversity risk is no longer a peripheral issue it affects compliance, operations, and long-term sustainability.

Gaia by Illuminum is a web-based platform that helps organisations identify and manage biodiversity-related risks quickly and systematically. It delivers location-specific intelligence across land, air, and marine ecosystems highlighting protected species, invasive species, moulds, vermin, and other biological threats.

What Does gaia.eco Do?

gaia.eco centralises global biodiversity data into one interactive mapping system, enabling organisations to

• Detect ecological risks at specific sites

• Identify protected or invasive species early

• Monitor biodiversity continuously, not just during audits

• Track species migration into new regions

• Analyse multiple sites and logistics routes in one view

Beyond species presence, gaia.eco models ecological interactions — providing a clearer understanding of ecosystem dynamics and potential vulnerabilities.

Use Cases

Environmental Research & Conservation

Researchers and conservationists can use Gaia.eco to monitor protected species presence, track ecological interactions, and anticipate shifts in biodiversity due to migration or environmental change. The platform turns complex ecological data into an accessible, map-based interface that supports fieldwork planning and reporting.

Agriculture & Crop Management

Agricultural producers face ongoing threats from invasive species, moulds, and vermin. Gaia.eco enables continuous monitoring of these biological risks across farmland and supply routes, allowing managers to move from reactive pest control to data-driven, proactive risk management.

Forestry & Land Planning

Forest managers and land planners can assess biodiversity risks across large areas before and during development or conservation projects. The platform helps identify protected species early, reducing regulatory risk and supporting sustainable land-use decisions.

Logistics & Operational Planning

Organizations managing supply chains or infrastructure across multiple sites can integrate biodiversity threat data into their operational planning. Gaia.eco links biological risk monitoring with logistics and site management — a novel approach that connects ecological data to day-to-day business decisions.

Key Differentiators

• Proactive over reactive — Continuous, data-driven monitoring replaces ad hoc assessments, enabling organizations to anticipate, manage and report risks before they escalate.

• Ecosystem-level insight — The Nexus models biotic interactions of species, providing deeper ecological understanding.

• Accessible to non-experts — A web-based mapping interface makes sophisticated biodiversity data actionable for users without specialised ecological training.

• Scalable — Designed to handle assessments across multiple sites, regions, and logistics networks simultaneously.

Why Does gaia.eco Matter?

Most biodiversity assessments are reactive and fragmented. gaia.eco offers structured, ongoing monitoring helping organisations

• reduce regulatory issues

• prevent operational disruption in agriculture, forestry, construction

• make informed environmental decisions

Getting Started

Organizations interested in accelerating their biodiversity risk assessments can book a consultation, and discuss their specific challenges.
