Industry Focus
Ecosystems don't follow boundaries. Your GIS shouldn't either.
Environmental monitoring, biodiversity mapping, and climate vulnerability assessment all require spatial analysis at scales and cadences that only satellite remote sensing and GIS can deliver.

The challenge
What makes environmental hard.
Deforestation detection speed
Manual interpretation of satellite imagery misses early-stage clearing and cannot match the cadence needed for effective enforcement.
Biodiversity data fragmentation
Species records held by universities, NGOs, and government agencies sit in incompatible formats — preventing the integrated analysis that conservation planning requires.
Climate vulnerability quantification
Quantifying climate risk to communities and ecosystems requires integrating climate models, topographic data, and population layers — rarely done in a single GIS.
Remote habitat data collection
Ecologists working in remote habitats need field tools that function without connectivity or power — and that produce spatially precise records.
Forest cover change detection — satellite time series
Our approach
What Kaistrum delivers.
Automated satellite change detection
Sentinel-2 and Planet imagery analysed automatically on a 24-hour cycle — with alerts triggered when change exceeds a defined threshold.
Biodiversity data aggregation
A unified platform harmonising species occurrence records from GBIF, iNaturalist, government databases, and field surveys.
Multi-criteria vulnerability analysis
Spatial overlay of climate projections, topography, population, and infrastructure to produce quantified vulnerability indices at any scale.
Offline field data collection
GPS-precise field collection tools with offline basemap cache — for ecologists working without connectivity or power.
Species distribution modelling map
Applications
In practice.
Deforestation monitoring & alerting
Automated change detection on Sentinel-2 imagery with 24-hour alert cadence — delivering forest loss notifications to rangers and enforcement teams.
Biodiversity & habitat mapping
Species distribution modelling from occurrence records and remote sensing — identifying critical habitat and connectivity corridors for conservation planning.
Carbon stock assessment
Above-ground biomass estimation from LiDAR point clouds and optical imagery — calibrated against field plots for REDD+ compliant carbon accounting.
Protected area management
Patrol tracking, encroachment detection, boundary monitoring, and ranger performance dashboards for protected area management teams.
Climate vulnerability mapping
Spatial analysis of population and ecosystem exposure to flood, drought, heat, and sea-level rise under IPCC scenario projections.
