Why Biome Exists
The restoration sector has a structural gap. Biome is building the infrastructure to fill it.
Practitioners implement best management practices. Scientists validate them. Funders invest in them. Monitoring programs periodically assess them. And yet conservation investments still cannot produce a continuous, defensible, site-specific record of whether ecological function has been achieved or maintained. That gap is not the result of negligence or insufficient effort. It is structural -- nobody in the current system is positioned to fill it, because continuous ecological verification at the site level is not anyone's job. Biome's job is to build the infrastructure that makes it possible.
A Note From Our Founder
“I spent thirty years in conservation — as an advocate, a program leader, and an executive -- watching restoration projects succeed and fill critical gaps in nature, but fail to scale to the demands of the global crises we face. As climate change intensifies, biodiversity vanishes, and natural systems degrade and disappear, it is universally clear that something critical is missing from our response. Demand for solutions is intensifying, but the infrastructure to satisfy the needs of these markets still needs to be built. I founded Biome to do just that. We are building the infrastructure that allows ecological recovery to be measured and verified in a way that everyone -- from practitioners to regulators to capital markets -- can trust. Restoring life at the scale demanded by the global climate and biodiversity crises isn’t wishful thinking. It’s a systems design challenge we can solve.” — Mike Daulton, Founder & CEO
Principles of Scalable Renewal
Verification First
Ecological function cannot be rewarded, priced, or contractually enforced until it is continuously measured and defensibly recorded. That is where Biome starts.
Site-specific
The evidence base for conservation practice tells us what is working in general. BiomeOS tells you whether this system, on this site, is functioning -- informed by its particular history, hydrology, and conditions.
Scientifically Grounded
BiomeOS is developed in partnership with leading scientific institutions. The verification record it produces is defensible because it is calibrated against peer-reviewed science, not just generated by sensors.
Built for Institutions
The data record BiomeOS produces is designed from the ground up for the accountability and risk management requirements of conservation funders, natural capital markets, and regulatory bodies.
Work with us.
We're building verification infrastructure for conservation funders, land managers, and natural capital markets. If you're working on the measurement problem in ecological restoration, we'd like to talk.
