About the Company
Indigenous People around the world are working tirelessly to protect and manage their territories under mounting external threats. Conservation Metrics is a small, mission-driven company co-creating an open-source data platform designed to support territorial monitoring and Indigenous data sovereignty.
Our platform combines remote sensing products (maps, alerts, and change detection), mobile data collection tools, secure data warehousing, and governed data access to allow Indigenous communities to explore, analyze, and summarize their information.
