Our products include bioacoustic analysis, remote sensing tools, and AI Assistants that help capture oral knowledge. Once the environmental data is input into our platform, we then produce environmental insights and metrics that can be used to visualize environmental impact.\n\n## Our platform\n\n![Platform Screenshot](https://gainforest.notion.site/image/https%3A%2F%2Fprod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F592f10fa-b2fe-4de7-84d7-d47ef5244493%2F7f0c9be5-07de-4546-b4e8-328a3e599264%2FScreenshot_2024-10-23_at_19.11.18.png?table=block&id=12894a2f-76b3-80e4-bf0c-f47ad4369dbd&spaceId=592f10fa-b2fe-4de7-84d7-d47ef5244493&width=1420&userId=&cache=v2)\n\n*One of our partner projects displayed on the Green Globe, our environmental data visualization platform.

When a donation is received, the smart contract automatically allocates funds based on quarterly-adjusted weights that members set according to activity within the guild, measurable impact on nature projects, and needs-based factors. This creates transparent, efficient resource sharing while incentivizing active participation in environmental stewardship through a flexible and democratic weighting system.\n\n## Capacity Building\n\nWe work together with local communities to co-design environmental data collection and research.\n\nOur \"communities first\" principle is demonstrated through our comprehensive capacity building program, which has already conducted 13 workshops across multiple countries.\n\nIn communities like Aldeia Inhaâ-bé, local leaders who initially participated in our workshops now conduct their own training sessions and lead technology implementation.\n\n![Workshop Photo 1](https://gainforest.notion.site/image/https%3A%2F%2Fprod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F592f10fa-b2fe-4de7-84d7-d47ef5244493%2Fe47d9578-050d-43f8-abd8-01a1064ec8f7%2FScreenshot_2024-10-23_at_19.56.58.png?table=block&id=12894a2f-76b3-8037-992d-d3aa4e85efba&spaceId=592f10fa-b2fe-4de7-84d7-d47ef5244493&width=1420&userId=&cache=v2)\n\n![Workshop Photo 2](https://gainforest.notion.site/image/https%3A%2F%2Fprod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F592f10fa-b2fe-4de7-84d7-d47ef5244493%2F753c6b85-6aa9-440b-8b1b-adef1d474412%2FScreenshot_2024-10-23_at_20.03.13.png?table=block&id=12894a2f-76b3-80f8-bd66-d7eb0492c939&spaceId=592f10fa-b2fe-4de7-84d7-d47ef5244493&width=1420&userId=&cache=v2)\n\n\n## Measure-To-Earn\n\nOnly 1% of global biodiversity data comes from the world's largest rainforests. In addition to impact metrics and evaluation, we believe that we can create an additional sustainable income source for communities using decentralized data collection and research.\n\n![Measure-to-Earn](https://gainforest.notion.site/image/https%3A%2F%2Fprod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F592f10fa-b2fe-4de7-84d7-d47ef5244493%2Fe40b1be7-dd42-4120-9669-1ffc525736a8%2FScreenshot_2024-10-23_at_20.06.33.png?table=block&id=12894a2f-76b3-805c-aa07-de2997d52cfc&spaceId=592f10fa-b2fe-4de7-84d7-d47ef5244493&width=1420&userId=&cache=v2)\n\n## Values\n\nWe are science-driven, community-first, and believe in equitable nature technologies for all. All of our research and data collection is governed by a community-elected data council.\n\n## More resources\n\nRead our [2023-2024 Impact Report](https://www.canva.com/design/DAGNpwdK0jo/QkBOQ1gfl0gy8jDTBAo10g/view) here.\n\nRead our [blog](https://gainforest.substack.com/)\n\n![Videos](https://gainforest.notion.site/image/https%3A%2F%2Fprod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F592f10fa-b2fe-4de7-84d7-d47ef5244493%2F1ff3ce58-aac5-4a19-bbb9-dd5a6f2ba493%2Fimage.png?table=block&id=12894a2f-76b3-801c-be57-cb3d2d8c2514&spaceId=592f10fa-b2fe-4de7-84d7-d47ef5244493&width=1420&userId=&cache=v2)", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "gainforest", "projectTwitter": "gainforestnow"}
