We develop large-scale
restoration projects and the
technology to back them.
Sylva structures high-integrity carbon and biodiversity credit projects — and provides the planetary intelligence that conservation, land, and investment decisions depend on.
What We Do
Two practices, one mission: accelerate the restoration of our natural habitat.
We combine hands-on project development with satellite science and geospatial analytics to make environmental stewardship measurable, fundable, and scalable.

Project Development
We build and scale nature-based credit projects.

Planetary Intelligence
Better data for conservation, land, and investment decisions.
We integrate Earth Observation, AI-driven land classification, and field data into actionable intelligence — helping organizations assess environmental risk, verify sustainability claims, and optimize land use.
- Biomass mapping, canopy analysis, and carbon stock estimation via satellite
- Deforestation risk modeling and land-use change detection
- Biodiversity hotspot identification and habitat corridor planning
- Supply chain and commodity procurement intelligence
- Landscape restoration planning with climate projections
- Augment — our field tool merging smartphone data with satellite imagery

Our Projects
The Great Plains
Partnering with the Great Plains Foundation and local communities to protect and restore Africa’s most iconic species and landscapes.
EU-Life
Testing standards and methods for generating biodiversity credits in European wetlands funded by the EU.
How We Work
From first assessment to ongoing verification.
Whether you’re developing credits or commissioning intelligence, we follow a transparent process grounded in science.
01
Assess
We analyse your land using satellite imagery, species databases, climate and carbon models to map biomass, sequestration potential, ecosystem integrity, pressure points, biodiversity value, and deforestation risk.
02
Design
We recommend the right credit pathway, conservation intervention, risk mitigation or intelligence product — with methodology matching, revenue projections, community involvement and a clear development roadmap.
03
Develop
Project Design Documents, feasibility studies, stakeholder engagement, FPIC and financing strategy — we handle the complexity.
04
Monitor
Our digital MRV framework automates satellite-based monitoring, ground-truthing, and compliance reporting to keep projects verified and credits flowing.
Planetary Intelligence
We combine hands-on project development with satellite science and geospatial analytics to make environmental stewardship measurable, fundable, and scalable.
- Multi-spectral imagery from Planet Labs, Sentinel-2, EnMAP, and NISAR for canopy, biomass, and soil analysis
- AI models trained on tropical and subtropical ecosystems for deforestation prediction and species mapping
- Augment — zero-config field tool merging smartphone captures with satellite data for parcel-level insights
- Automated MRV pipelines compliant with VCS, Gold Standard, and emerging biodiversity frameworks
