How a measurement is actually made

Five of the seven: Birdy, Spectrum, the camera trap, Sintropy Air and Hive-Tech, which also comes as a bare sensor for hives you already have. None of them is sold from a price list: each comes with an offer from the team, sized on your sites. Kiro is still in field test. Biodiversa is not hardware at all: it is the citizen-science app, free on iOS and Android.

There is no price list: the device comes with an offer the team prepares for your project. It depends on how many sites and devices you need, on what has to be monitored and for how long, and on the subscription to the XNatura platform, which turns the readings into species lists, maps and exports. Describe the project on the Talk to us page or in the contact form and the team will send you the offer.

Start from the group you have to document. Birds: Birdy. Bats: Kiro. Pollinators: Spectrum. Medium and large mammals: the camera trap. Air quality at ground level: Sintropy Air. Honeybee colonies as an indicator of the surrounding land: Hive-Tech. People recording what they see: Biodiversa. Most sites need one or two of these where field evidence is required, not a device per hectare.

Both, and for different questions. Satellite layers cover every hectare of every site continuously and are how a portfolio gets compared; field sensors measure what an image cannot see (species heard at night, pollinator visits, air quality at ground level) on the sites where that evidence is needed.

Birdy recognises birdsong and Kiro the ultrasonic echolocation of bats, two groups that indicate habitat quality precisely because they respond quickly to it. Both are passive: they emit nothing and do not disturb the population they observe.

The pipeline is automatic; the result is signed. Ecologists, agronomists and ESG strategists validate the model output before it reaches a report, which is why the numbers can be defended in a certification or an audit.
