Overview

BNGAI is a cloud-based platform that leverages satellite imagery, AI and remote-sensing analytics to support organisations—developers, ecologists, local planning authorities—in achieving and reporting on biodiversity net gain (BNG) requirements. It handles baseline assessments of habitats, scenario modelling, action planning, monitoring and submission-ready reporting, vastly reducing the time and cost compared to traditional manual ecological surveys.

Features and Capabilities

• Baseline assessment & habitat mapping: Automatically classify habitats and assess condition using high-resolution satellite imagery and AI models.
• Scenario modelling & risk detection: Run development scenario impacts, identify hidden biodiversity risks early in the land-acquisition or planning process.
• Compliant plan generation & reporting: Produce submission-ready biodiversity net gain plans aligned with regulatory metrics, including on-site and off-site unit requirements.
• Portfolio and project-scale management: Manage multiple sites across a portfolio with real-time insights, enabling continuous monitoring and scalability.
• Field survey integration (offline support): Supports mobile/field survey workflows to validate or supplement remote-sensing data, even in offline conditions.
• Cost & time efficiency: Compared to traditional ecological methods, BNGAI™ claims to reduce assessment time by 70%+ and significantly lower cost.
