About Us
We believe that nature can be improved in harmony with human activity.
Through collaboration and technology we add significant value to environmental services.
We develop novel products that measure the performance of natural assets.
The need to protect the natural world is at an all-time high. We recognised a lack of dependable and consistent information to advocate for action, so we established Map Impact. Our objective is to eliminate barriers to accessing cutting-edge environmental reporting tools.
1. Biodiversity
Land is the ultimate finite resource. In the UK, to achieve biodiversity and net zero policy targets alongside all other commitments, 53% more land is needed by 2050.
We now have to protect and improve the environment by law, but it’s costly and time-consuming to measure environmental factors using only ground-based methods. In the UK, there aren’t enough ecologists available to conduct large-scale assessments. Map Impact works with ecologists and stakeholders to provide remote, consistent and objective baseline assessments, reducing the time, effort, and cost needed to meet new legal reporting obligations.
2. Climate Risk
The UK government aims for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In 2023, Earth had its warmest year on record, with the UK experiencing its second warmest year.
Urban heat islands, droughts, and wildfires have been identified as compounding climate risks. It is essential to enhance our preparedness and resilience as climate change impacts our economy, society and environment. Collaborating with Map Impact to identify and mitigate these risks through location-based analysis is a cost-effective and essential step.
3. Water
Water bodies are facing dangerous levels of contamination from various sources. Only 14% of rivers in England have a good ecological status and none have a good chemical status.
The increasing population, along with poorly managed infrastructure, is putting a strain on our waterways. The government’s new efforts to address this issue require support in the form of objective data. Map Impact combines new data sources to provide insights for strengthening regulations and penalising offenders.
