We strive to keep the initial data you need to provide as lean as possible. As biodiversity happens on local level, the most important data point is the location of your locations. These can be your own locations, but also the locations of your suppliers. Furthermore, you need to provide some high-level information about the site such as which industry it operates in. Finally, in order to conduct the impact and dependency assessment, you can provide some more detailed information about what happens at the location (e.g. fishing or mining).  

Leeana uses a multitude of various datasets across various dimensions. For the initial state of nature assessment and the impact and dependency materiality analysis, we rely on publicly available datasets from renowned entities such a the WRI or the UN. The high-resolution and near real-time insights you need for monitoring and goal setting, are based on satellite data from ESA and NASA. You can get access to the full methodology by speaking to us.

Sure! As we see Leeana as your corporate biodiversity cockpit, we understand that you want to have all of your biodiversity data under one roof. Therefore we are developing modules to upload data from other providers (e.g. IBAT) and also will be working with selected partners for a seamless integration of additional remote sensing data (e.g. bio-acoustics and eDNA)

You have several options to add locations to the Leeana platform. First you can manually choose a location on the map by either searching for it or finding it on map. Here you can specify an exact shape or guess the rough size of the site. Second, you can quickly bulk add dozens of sites. Finally you can also use our simple .csv templates to upload hundreds or thousands of sites at once.
