A working edge AI pipeline that detects and classifies wildlife, cryptographically signs every observation, and turns it into a defensible ecosystem-condition score — for conservation, restoration, and the nature-finance systems that need proof, not paperwork.
Biodiversity decisions — species sign-off, restoration claims, credit issuance — now ride on field data that was never designed to be defended. TerraProof is the layer that makes it stand up.
Every observation is anchored to a specific device, place, and moment — and signed before it leaves the field. What you receive is not a data point. It is testimony.
The field node architecture is built around duty-cycled wake, solar + LiFePO4 power, and a secure element that never streams raw data — a deliberate hardware design, now moving from architecture to build. See the roadmap.
Events are interpreted locally — waking compute only when something meaningful happens. Less energy, less bandwidth, less dependence on anyone else’s uplink.
TerraProof does not stream raw data. It watches, interprets, seals — and hands you a record that travels without losing its integrity.
A YOLOv26n detection pass scans every frame and flags what's worth attending to — every animal in shot, not just one. Built to eventually run behind a duty-cycled wake trigger in the field; today it runs against pilot and public camera-trap imagery.
When an event occurs, TerraProof wakes local compute to classify it — an EfficientNet V2-M classifier scoring against a 2,498-species taxonomy. Species, individual count, confidence — resolved per frame, no cloud round-trip required.
The event is bound to its device, coordinates, and timestamp, hashed, and signed with the private key before it ever touches a network. Alter one field afterward and the signature breaks — visibly, specifically, provably. Try it below.
Every record links to the previous one in a hash chain, then feeds into ESRS E4-5, TNFD Core, and Ökokonto / §41 BNatSchG-aligned reports — with full chain of custody from field to filing. Anyone downstream can verify, cold.
The hardware node — camera, standard + ultrasonic microphones for birdsong and bat calls, an environmental sensor, GPS, and a secure element — is the architecture we’re building toward next. Join the list to hear when it moves from design to field.
No spam. Roadmap updates only.
The pilot-partner dashboard below is built and running today — four screens that turn signed field records into a decision-ready ecosystem verdict.
The verdict up front: the Ecosystem Condition Index, its trend against baseline, and a live map of where the evidence is coming from.
The species and habitat sub-index breakdown — richness, diversity, conservation weighting, and satellite-derived structure — fused, with every number's confidence tier shown alongside it.
The signed ledger itself, hash-chained and independently verifiable — including the live "try to forge it" demo from the SIGN step above, on real records.
The multi-device fleet view — every node's status, health, and contribution to the site-level picture, in one place.
…plus a one-click export into ESRS/TNFD-structured disclosure, ready to hand to an auditor.
Request a live walkthroughPresence claims you can actually present — to regulators, to developers, to anyone whose decision turns on whether the animal was really there.
Moving past “we planted X.” TerraProof turns the return of fauna into a defensible, dated, location-bound record.
Biodiversity credits will only be worth what their field evidence can carry. TerraProof is built for the day that bar is raised.
We’re looking for researchers, conservation operators, and restoration teams to prove this on. A small cohort; real sites; real evidence.
