Since 2017 Salo Sciences Inc has worked in the arena of environmental mapping. New research shows that natural climate solutions—conserving, restoring & improving stewardship in ecosystems—could drastically reduce carbon emissions in the next decade. Investing in nature brings extensive co-benefits: protecting biodiversity, enhancing social and ecological resilience, and reinforcing the personal connection of people to nature. Salo strives to accelerate the pace and scale of investments in natural climate solutions, using technology to identify conservation opportunities, monitor ecosystem health & predict environmental change. An holistic approach to ecosystem mapping is needed—climate, society & ecology are all connected. The firm uses global tech to co-design local ecological mapping and planning tools that help governments and landowners understand and manage their environment. And because they consider mapping to be a fundamentally political action, they actively engage in public outreach and in policy discussions on how to use, and regulate, technology for environmental management.
