Empowering Corporations to Drive Nature Restoration: Hula Earth joins Climate Collective

We’re thrilled to welcome Hula Earth into the Climate Collective!

Our planet is experiencing an unprecedented decline in biodiversity, and reversing this trend requires bold, innovative action. There is a major role for corporations to play here. But according to the World Benchmark Alliance, the majority of businesses are still in the process of understanding how their operations impact and rely on natural ecosystems. Only 5% of companies worldwide have assessed their environmental impact, and less than 1% understand their dependencies on nature — this urgency-action gap can in part be explained by lack of reliable data. For companies to make impactful, measurable contributions to nature restoration, they need reliable, ongoing data — and this is precisely where Hula Earth excels.

Founded in 2023 by Florian Geiser and David Schmider, Hula Earth was created from a deep-seated commitment to protect biodiversity. Having grown up on farms, the founders witnessed firsthand the alarming loss of natural ecosystems and the urgent need for actionable solutions. They set out to harness advanced space data and IoT technology, enabling companies to invest in biodiversity with measurable impact. Through Hula Earth, Florian and David aim to drive positive change in biodiversity conservation, fostering a more sustainable planet for generations to come.

Here is how Hula Earth stands out:

🌍 Continuous biodiversity monitoring: The proprietary Hula Platform integrates real-time satellite data with IoT sensor networks, providing a 360-degree view of key ecosystem indicators like biomass, species health, and resilience. This continuous monitoring approach offers companies precise, actionable insights, enabling data-driven decisions that drive impactful conservation strategies.

🔍 Innovative ecosystem monitoring: Hula Earth leverages a scalable, self-sufficient sensor network that once deployed, autonomously collects 24/7 microclimate and bioacoustic data without requiring ongoing maintenance. This innovative solution integrates on-site data with advanced analytics, supporting a wide range of initiatives — from offsetting and insetting to managing agricultural plots and infrastructure like solar farms.

💡Empowering corporate biodiversity investment: Hula Earth provides corporations with the opportunity to understand the biodiversity aspect in their own value chain and improve it via insetting or offsetting initiatives, like biodiversity credits from projects managed by their trusted partners. These projects are continuously monitored using Hula’s advanced system, ensuring accountability and measurable impact.

We welcome Hula Earth and together we strive to stop biodiversity loss by enabling funding for nature and helping businesses to understand their impact on biodiversity.
