Making biodiversity knowledge available, accessible & actionable.
Open data. Shared intelligence. Nature-positive future.
Every decision that matters for our planet, from corporate supply chains to local conservation projects, needs the same thing: reliable information about nature. Yet critical nature data remains fragmented, paywalled, and difficult to use. Only 25% of biodiversity indicators are currently available. We’re here to change that.
OpenNature is a global collaboration of scientists, institutions, and communities transforming how biodiversity knowledge is created and shared. We’re pushing the open standards, operational methods, and funding models that make nature intelligence accessible to all. This is biodiversity knowledge, unlocked.
Why is Open Nature different?
We’re not just another platform. We’re a spark for systemic change.
What sets us apart is how we work:
- Partnership over competition. We unite leading scientists and engineers in a cooperative structure that prioritizes impact and openness over ownership.
- Decades of experience. Leading biodiversity professionals steer our initiative, bringing together a wealth of experience having developed the tools and indicators the world uses today.
- Radically open and fast. We embrace continuous release, early publication, and transparent processes that accelerate progress.
- Engineering meets science. We provide the technical capacity to turn scientific innovation into scalable, operational tools.
- Amplifying, not replacing. We complement existing efforts to move faster, collaborate better, and increase their impact.
