Introduction
NAS is combining natural capital, ecological economic, climate and biodiversity expertise to support clients on their challenging journey towards becoming Nature Positive and Net Zero. No matter how far an organisation has progressed on this journey, NAS can help you achieve your goals efficiently and effectively.
We utilise advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) models to inform our advice and services. We develop and use tailored AI-informed natural capital assessment and management tools to provide accurate and spatially-explicit outputs. We utilise AI-interpreted Satellite Imagery for baselining where appropriate. We also use AI as part of our rigorous Quality Assurance process such as for checking models and data inputs.
Whenever we utilise AI, we do this in a safe and transparent manner and never without the explicit written consent from your clients. We never rely on AI and AI-generated content is always reviewed by experts before shared with clients as deliverables.
Our products
-
NATURE Tool
The Nature Tool for Urban and Rural Environments (short: NATURE Tool) is free and has been developed to easily assess and manage the natural capital impact of projects and sites. The NATURE Tool can also be used to effectively demonstrate wider environmental benefits and report net gains for the environment.
-
BNG++
NAS helps your organisation, programmes and/or projects to move from simple BNG compliance to also storing additional carbon in vegetation and soils to help meeting your net zero targets (BNG+) to demonstrating added social value and wider environmental co-benefits through natural capital enhancements (BNG++). All from the same land/project!
-
Natural Capital Opportunity Mapping
NAS develops innovative approaches to establish natural capital asset baselines. NAS models the carbon, ecosystem services and biodiversity benefits including spatial provision and opportunity maps to identify and inform enhancement and investment opportunities.
Testimonials
I had the pleasure of working with Oliver across natural capital projects for nearly two years, and I can confidently say that he is exceptional. Oliver's deep knowledge in the field and his ability to communicate complex concepts clearly made him an invaluable asset to our projects.
The production of our Local Nature Recovery Strategy was greatly enhanced by the work Oliver undertook on natural capital. The resulting natural capital opportunity mapping has gone on to help inform the authority’s future land management decisions relating to our climate and ecological emergency strategy. Oliver’s work comes highly recommended.
