About Us
Frontierra is an environmental geospatial consultancy that utilises geospatial data and satellite monitoring to analyse and evaluate nature-related risks, with a specific focus on biodiversity and deforestation.
We bridge the information gap that exists between organisations and the impacts their operations and investments have on nature and biodiversity by providing data, reports, and documentation to evidence compliance with legislation and offsetting requirements, assist in corporate sustainability reporting and meet consumer and shareholder expectations and climate change commitments.
