Giving Nature a Voice
We exist to build the infrastructure that makes life on Earth visible, measurable, and actionable—creating the foundation for how humanity monitors, understands, and ultimately safeguards biodiversity.
Why We Exist
Nature is speaking all around us—in every ecosystem, every species, every moment. But we've never had the ability to truly listen at the scale that matters.
The biodiversity crisis is happening largely unseen, unheard, and unmeasured. Not because we don't care, but because the technology to monitor life on Earth at planetary scale doesn't exist yet.
Nature Integrity exists to build it.
Our Approach
We're a research and development company solving the hardest problems in biodiversity monitoring—the ones others avoid because they're too technically challenging, too scientifically demanding, or too far from immediate commercial return.
We prioritize:
- •Scientific integrity over impressive demos
- •Real-world reliability over controlled performance
- •Methodological advances over incremental improvements
- •Long-term infrastructure over short-term products
We're building in collaboration with researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence, field ecologists, and conservation practitioners to ensure what we create actually works where it needs to work—in forests, wetlands, cities, and remote ecosystems worldwide.
What We're Building
From accessible consumer devices to autonomous professional platforms, we're developing the distributed monitoring infrastructure the world needs:
Democratized Access
Making biodiversity monitoring available to everyone—from curious individuals to community groups to schools—while contributing to a global data network that benefits scientific research and conservation.
Professional Infrastructure
Research-grade autonomous systems that integrate acoustic, visual, and environmental sensing with next-generation multi-taxa AI—built for long-term deployment in real-world conditions.
Global Data Foundation
The unified infrastructure connecting every device, every deployment, every ecosystem into scientifically defensible biodiversity intelligence.
And whatever technologies emerge next to make ecosystems visible and protected at scale.
