ðŸŒ Earthâ€™s MRI scan has begun and a new era of nature monitoring is here European Space Agency - ESAâ€™s Biomass satellite is now in orbit and the first images are spectacular. Using powerful P-band radar (capable of seeing through clouds and even dense jungle canopies), itâ€™s mapping something we've never seen from space before: The woody biomass of our forests, the trunks, branches and stems that hold most of the carbon. Why this is a game changer: âœ… First-of-its-kind radar âœ… Global forest scans every 6 months âœ… Carbon mapping on a planetary scale âœ… Even revealing whatâ€™s beneath the forests, sand and ice Already itâ€™s uncovered: ðŸ“ The winding Beni River in Bolivia, deep within the Amazon rainforest ðŸŒ‹ Volcanoes hidden beneath the canopy in Brazil and Indonesiaâ€™s Halmahera ðŸ’§ Wetlands and savannas in Gabon and ancient riverbeds in the Sahara â„ï¸ And even glacier flows and buried valleys in Antarcticaâ€™s Transantarctic Mountains Itâ€™s like giving the planet an MRI scan. And itâ€™s doing something we urgently need, measuring what matters in the fight to protect and restore nature. Over the next 5 years, Biomass will help answer some of the biggest questions in climate and nature science: â¤· How much is being lost? â¤· Where is nature bouncing back? â¤· Where is carbon stored in forests? This goes beyond just forests and will help us with climate stability, smarter policies and the data we need for a nature-positive future. ðŸ” Should we be measuring biomass alongside GDP? #NatureTech #Biomass #Forests #NatureRestoration #EarthObservation ðŸŽ¥Â European Space Agency

ID a species in secondsâ€”No DNA test required A scientific technique best known for measuring blood oxygen levels and testing food quality is now proving to be a game changer for conservation biology. Researchers in Brazil are using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to identify species in the fieldâ€”quickly, accurately, and without the need for costly lab work or genetic testing. In the MamirauÃ¡ Sustainable Development Reserve in the Brazilian Amazon, scientists like Kelly Torralvo are using handheld NIR scanners to detect unique â€œspectral signaturesâ€ in amphibians and reptiles, reports Miguel Monteiro. â€œThe NIR tool is an advance in laboratory and field activities,â€ she says. â€œIt can facilitate processes in countless activities related to academic studies, monitoring, inspections, and conservation actions.â€ Initial trials have yielded an 80% identification accuracy, with some species correctly recognized in over 90% of cases. The approach works even with salted or frozen game meat, offering a powerful tool against illegal wildlife trade. Experts are optimistic. â€œWith a calibrated database, all you have to do is pass the light beam through it and, voilÃ : the species is recognized,â€ says ecologist Pedro Pequeno. Compact, practical, and scalable, the technology may transform biodiversity monitoring in some of the worldâ€™s most complex ecosystems. ðŸ“° https://lnkd.in/g2nyg_NT

ðŸŒ± Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Process Explained 1. ðŸ“Œ Proposal Identification The process begins when a project proposal is submitted â€” like building a factory, dam, highway, etc. 2. ðŸ” Screening Authorities decide if the project needs EIA. If itâ€™s small or low-risk âž No EIA needed If itâ€™s large or risky âž EIA Required Sometimes, an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) is done to help make this decision. 3. ðŸ“¢ Public Involvement At multiple points (like here or later), public can raise concerns or give suggestions. Their opinion matters in shaping the EIA. 4. ðŸ§ Scoping If EIA is needed, this step identifies what to study â€“ air, water, soil, wildlife, people, etc. A Terms of Reference (ToR) is prepared. 5. ðŸ“Š Impact Analysis Detailed study of possible environmental impacts of the project â€” both positive and negative. 6. ðŸ›¡ï¸ Mitigation and Impact Management Plans are made to reduce or manage the harmful impacts found in the analysis. 7. ðŸ“˜ EIA Report Preparation All findings are compiled into a formal EIA Report, including baseline data, predicted impacts, and mitigation plans. 8. ðŸ§ª Review Experts review the EIA report to check if itâ€™s complete, accurate, and addresses all key issues. 9. âš–ï¸ Decision-making Authorities decide: âœ… Approved âž Project can begin with conditions. âŒ Not Approved âž Project is rejected or sent back. If rejected, the project can be redesigned and resubmitted. 10. ðŸš§ Implementation and Follow-up If approved, the project starts â€” but with regular monitoring to ensure environmental rules are followed. The results also help improve future EIA processes. ðŸ”„ Public Involvement Throughout People can give input at various stages, not just at one point.

For a number of reasons, renewables may not scale quickly enough to meet the immediate surge in demand, as Heather Clancy writes in this GreenBiz article. To ensure reliability in the short term, we must also consider reinstating fossil fuel and nuclear power plant resources. The growth of AI presents challenges for both our existing electrical grid and water infrastructure. As we navigate the boom and the need for more energy to fuel it, we must also focus on water. Water is essential for generating the energy that data centers need and the water required to cool them. While renewable energy is key, we must also leverage existing technologies to implement circular water management practices. This approach not only conserves water but also enhances operational efficiency and sustainability. ð—›ð—²ð—¿ð—² ð—®ð—¿ð—² ð˜ð—µð—² ð—®ð—°ð˜ð—¶ð—¼ð—» ð˜€ð˜ð—²ð—½ð˜€ ð˜„ð—² ð—ºð˜‚ð˜€ð˜ ð˜ð—®ð—¸ð—² ð˜ð—¼ð—±ð—®ð˜†: ðŸ. ð—”ð—±ð—¼ð—½ð˜ ð—”ð—±ð˜ƒð—®ð—»ð—°ð—²ð—± ð—ªð—®ð˜ð—²ð—¿ ð—¥ð—²ð˜‚ð˜€ð—² ð—§ð—²ð—°ð—µð—»ð—¼ð—¹ð—¼ð—´ð—¶ð—²ð˜€: Implement existing smart water technology to facilitate water conservation and reuse within data centers, industrial processes and power plants. ðŸ®. ð—œð—»ð˜€ð˜ð—®ð—¹ð—¹ ð—¥ð—²ð—®ð—¹-ð—§ð—¶ð—ºð—² ð— ð—¼ð—»ð—¶ð˜ð—¼ð—¿ð—¶ð—»ð—´ ð—¦ð˜†ð˜€ð˜ð—²ð—ºð˜€: Deploy IoT sensors and AI-driven analytics to monitor water usage and quality, enabling proactive management and optimization. ðŸ¯. ð—˜ð—»ð—´ð—®ð—´ð—² ð—¶ð—» ð—¦ð˜ð—¿ð—®ð˜ð—²ð—´ð—¶ð—° ð—£ð—®ð—¿ð˜ð—»ð—²ð—¿ð˜€ð—µð—¶ð—½ð˜€ ð—¶ð—» ð—ªð—®ð˜ð—²ð—¿-ð—¦ð˜ð—¿ð—²ð˜€ð˜€ð—²ð—± ð—•ð—®ð˜€ð—¶ð—»ð˜€: Collaborate with technology providers, sustainability experts and local governments to develop and implement circular water management solutions.

In the past few years, I have worked quite a lot on GreenTech and climate AI and have shared resources on the same. Today is one such day again! Â Chile's Nahuelbuta mountain range is an awe-inspiring tapestry of biodiversity, teeming with unique species such as the Darwin's fox. However, this ecosystem constantly faces threats from human activities, wildfires, and encroachment. With less than 1,000 Darwin's foxes remaining, their existence is hanging by a thread. Enter the "Nature Guardian" initiative â€“ a collaborative marvel involving Rainforest Connection (RFCx), deploying solar-powered devices enriched with AI to monitor and safeguard this invaluable ecosystem vigilantly. "Nature Guardian" is supported by Huaweiâ€™s #TECH4ALL, which is always committed to enable an inclusive and sustainable digital world. These ingenious devices have evolved into the unseen sentinels of this diverse landscape, ceaselessly engaged in environmental monitoring, tracking animal calls, and swiftly identifying threats like illegal logging and poaching. Meticulously positioned high in the treetops, they provide round-the-clock coverage, seamlessly linked to a cloud-based AI platform. One of the project's noteworthy facets lies in its AI analytics, expertly trained to recognize various animal species. This empowers researchers to scrutinize their distribution and behaviours, offering invaluable insights for adaptive conservation measures. What I also found interesting is the system's ability to issue real-time alerts via a mobile app if any threat is detected, enabling rapid responses to protect this delicate ecosystem. As of August 2021, five Nature Guardian devices and ten edge devices had been deployed, covering 30 km2 of Nahuelbuta forest. However, the project's vision doesn't halt here; it's expanding to Chiloe Island and the coastal regions of the Valdivian forest, where sightings of the elusive Darwin's fox have been reported. This endeavour underscores the power of collaboration among organisations like RFCx, Bioforest, Etica en los Bosques, the Ministry of the Environment for Chile, and Huawei. In an era where climate change and forest degradation pose significant challenges to ecosystems worldwide, their combined expertise in conservation and technology is contributing towards preserving Chile's unique biodiversity. #innovation #technology #artificialintelligence #greentech #techforgood

A new chapter in India's environmental strategy begins with The Union Budget for FY 2025-26! Analyzing the Union Budget for FY26, I'm struck by its strategic momentum towards comprehensive climate action. Here are the three biggest (Budgetary) moves shaping Indiaâ€™s green future â€¦ 1ï¸âƒ£ Clean tech manufacturing. â†³ Import duties on key materials, such as cobalt powder and lithium-ion battery scrap, have been removed. â†³ Major push for solar PV cells and grid-scale batteries under the National Manufacturing Mission. â†³ This signals a serious investment in green manufacturing, EV adoption, and energy storage solutions. 2ï¸âƒ£ Nuclear energy expansion. â†³ â‚¹20,000 crore allocated for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). â†³ Goal: 100 GW by 2047, 5 indigenous reactors by 2033. â†³ The private sector is finally allowed to step in. â†³ This will fundamentally shift our clean energy landscape. 3ï¸âƒ£ Forest & wildlife conservation. â†³ 22% increase in forestry funding. â†³ Project Tiger gets â‚¹290 crore, Green India Mission gets â‚¹220 crore. â†³ This demonstrates a sustained commitment to ecological preservation. The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change has received an allocation of â‚¹3,412.82 crore, this marks a 9% increase. Areas to bolster in the next edit ... âžž While the Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana targets 100 climate-vulnerable districts, the overall focus on climate adaptation may need to continue to expand. âžž The reduced allocation for pollution control (from â‚¹858 to â‚¹853.90 crore) may pose a challenge. This budget continues to move India from isolated initiatives to an integrated climate action plan. The key now lies in effective implementation and gap addressal. What are your thoughts on these strategic climate initiatives? #UnionBudget2025 #ClimateAction #SustainabilityÂ

Leading the way in Water Management ðŸ’§ As the pressures of climate change, population growth, and biodiversity loss mount, innovative approaches to water management are critical. Across the UK, good to see leading water companies embracing Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) to address these challenges sustainably, combining traditional engineering with the power of nature. Hereâ€™s how Anglian Water, South West Water, and United Utilities are transforming the landscape with NBS initiatives: 1. Anglian Water: Pioneering natural resilience: ~ Holistic catchment management: programmes like their Pioneering Catchment Schemes work with farmers to prevent pollution at its source, ensuring better water quality before it even reaches treatment plants ~ Natural Flood Management: By restoring floodplains, Anglian helps protect communities while improving habitats for wildlife ~ Blue-green infrastructure projects: In urban areas, Anglian promotes solutions such as sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) to manage rainfall and reduce urban flooding 2. South West Water: Upstream Thinking: ~ Partnerships w/ landowners: Collaborating w/ farmers, SWW reduces agricultural runoff, improving water quality and reducing treatment costs ~ Wetland Restoration: Projects in areas like Exmoor and Dartmoor restore natural landscapes, enhancing biodiversity and improving water retention to mitigate drought risks ~ Flood risk management: By slowing water flow and restoring natural channels, South West Water addresses flooding while creating habitats for wildlife 3. United Utilities: Unlocking nature's potential: ~ National leadership: Their Â£8.9 million national programme, in collaboration with The Rivers Trust and others, explores solutions such as peatland restoration and constructed wetlands to enhance water quality and resilience ~ Integrated planning in PR24: United Utilitiesâ€™ forward-thinking PR24 strategy emphasises embedding NBS across operations, from raw water protection to wastewater management These initiatives highlight a shift toward solutions that work in harmony with nature, providing long-term benefits for communities, ecosystems, and water management systems. Why it matters?: NBS are more than just good environmental practiceâ€”theyâ€™re cost-effective, sustainable, and community-friendly. By reducing reliance on energy-intensive treatments and hard infrastructure, NBS help tackle some of the UKâ€™s most pressing water management challenges, from flooding to water quality and biodiversity loss. Nature as Critical Business infrastructure. ðŸ’¡ A Call to Action These pioneering projects show the transformative potential of NBS. For water companies, governments, and communities alike, the opportunity lies in scaling up these initiatives and embedding them into everyday practices. Letâ€™s celebrate and amplify these efforts, driving innovation and sustainability in water management for future generations. ðŸ’§ðŸŒ± #NBS #NFM #UKWater

How can the biodiversity footprint of linear infrastructure projects such as gas pipelines be assessed? How do such assessments link to existing environmental impact assessments (EIA) and regulatory mitigation hierarchy measures? A case study was conducted based on the construction of a gas pipeline, looking both at the impacts from steel production and regulatory biodiversity offset measures. Â ðŸ” The pilot, conducted by CDC BiodiversitÃ©, and involving both GRTgaz and the Groupe Caisse des DÃ©pÃ´ts as a shareholder of the energy company, is summarised in a 6 page document, starting with a standardised summary sheet (8 other case studies are available on CDC BiodiversitÃ©â€™s website). Data on land use changes, GHG emissions, pipeline materials and biodiversity offset land use changes extracted from the EIA and collected through exchanges with GRTgaz and the team in charge of the offset measures were used to assess the impacts on one aspect of #biodiversity, ecosystem integrity, using the #GlobalBiodiversityScore (GBS) tool and the #MeanSpeciesAbundance (MSA) metric. Â ðŸ’¡ A result which surprised the persons involved was that during the construction, the most significant periodic loss was caused not by the land use changes associated to the construction but by the climate change pressure generated by the production of steel required for the pipelines. Â ðŸŒ³ This case study showcases the application of the GBS to assess and forecast positive impacts of biodiversity offset measures in terms of functional biodiversity (here between 0 and 0.35 MSA.km2 of gains, with significant uncertainties as the success of the offset measures is not guaranteed), besides the expected gains of those measures for species populations and their habitat. It is very important to stress that assessing the ecological integrity footprint of such a pipeline comes as a complement to the usual impact assessment conducted during an EIA. It does NOT replace it at all and achieving a low negative footprint and large positive gains expressed in MSA.km2 does NOT mean a project has achieved no net loss with regards to the habitats of protected or endangered species (and vice-versa). A company needs to achieve both no net loss through the regulatory mitigation hierarchy with its focus on speciesâ€™ habitats and a low ecological integrity footprint. Â Linear infrastructure projects are especially difficult to assess using ecosystem integrity metrics and Iâ€™d be curious to hear from the assessment of other projects (e.g. road, rail or other energy infrastructures) you may know!

ðŸš€ AlphaEarth Foundations (AEF) - New from Google DeepMind I keep looking out for interesting usecases of AI. Deepmind folks are at it again. ðŸ“„ Paper: AlphaEarth Foundations on arXiv (https://lnkd.in/giHUwe2d) --- ðŸŒ What is AlphaEarth Foundations? AEF is a foundation model for Earth observation that turns sparse and messy satellite, climate, LiDAR, and even text data into dense embeddings at 10 mÂ² resolution. These embeddings provide a universal feature space for mapping and monitoring the planet, outperforming all previous approaches â€” reducing mapping errors by ~24% on average. And the best part? The embeddings are already available as annual global datasets (2017â€“2024) for free: ðŸ‘‰ Earth Engine Data Catalog: Google Satellite Embedding V1 Annual - https://lnkd.in/g6dcv4-M --- ðŸ› Why does this matter? (weekend project ?) For places like Bengaluru, India (or any fast-changing city), AEF makes it possible to: - Track urban growth and land use change with very few ground samples. - Monitor lakes and wetlands for encroachment and seasonal changes. - Map flood risk by combining rainfall, elevation, and land cover. - Identify urban heat islands and vegetation loss. - Support peri-urban agriculture with low-shot crop type classification. - Study biodiversity shifts (tree species, invasive plants) by linking with GBIF/iNaturalist data. In short, itâ€™s like having a plug-and-play geospatial backbone â€” ready to support everything from city planning to climate adaptation. --- ðŸ”§ For the Geeks Want to try it out? You can get started in minutes using Earth Engine + Python: ðŸ“˜ Earth Engine Python Quickstart Docs - https://lnkd.in/g9zBBPJv ðŸŒ This is a big step toward planetary-scale AI for environmental monitoring â€” making high-quality maps possible even when labels are scarce. --- Further reading : 1. https://lnkd.in/gsXU2BqS 2. https://lnkd.in/gxJpqS6b --- Authors: Christopher Brown, Michal Kazmierski, Valerie Pasquarella, William J.
