    Censuring biodiversity with AI: the Nature Observation tool for ESG

    The identification of species with artificial intelligence provides a tangible way for those who measure and report on biodiversity. With Nature Observation AI by iLoveNatura, you upload photos, videos, or audio and receive the scientific name, confidence level, and IUCN conservation status, ready for ESG reports.

    Measuring biodiversity remains slow and costly.

    For a company that wants to measure its impact on nature, the first obstacle is data. A traditional biodiversity survey requires field experts, a long time, and high costs, and often yields results that are difficult to compare over time.

    The new reporting frameworks — from the CSRD with the ESRS E4 standard to the TNFD recommendations and SBTN targets — demand precisely this: verifiable data on species and habitats, collected methodically and repeatably. The gap between what needs to be declared and what is realistically detectable is the real bottleneck.

    There is a need for a tool that lowers the barrier: one that allows a non-specialist team to collect observations in a structured way, and that transforms photos and recordings into reliable taxonomic data, without setting up a complete scientific campaign each time.

    Measuring biodiversity remains slow and costly.

    AI identification of species from photos, videos, and audio

    Nature Observation AI was created for this purpose. You upload images, videos, or audio files — or connect a public Google Drive folder with no size limit — and the model analyses the visual and acoustic characteristics of each file.

    For each observation, you receive ready-to-use information:
    • scientific name and common name;
    • confidence percentage of the identification;
    • complete taxonomic classification;
    • IUCN conservation status, when available.
    The files are grouped into a census batch processed asynchronously: you can see in real-time the progress of files pending, completed, and failed, without waiting for the entire batch to finish. Species identified with low confidence are flagged as to be verified, and you can contact an expert directly from the platform to validate them.

    From censuses to reports for CSRD, TNFD, and SBTN

    The value for those involved in sustainability lies in what happens after the analysis. From each batch, you can generate a professional HTML report with an integrated editor to modify text and layout, then print it in PDF or export it in DOCX. The complete list of species is downloadable in CSV for further processing: to feed an internal inventory or multi-year monitoring.

    Each completed analysis also generates a shareable link: recipients can view the species list, confidence scores, IUCN status, and batch details at no cost, as only those conducting the analysis consume credits. It's a simple way to bring the data to colleagues, consultants, or stakeholders.

    These outputs fit into a reporting pathway aligned with CSRD/ESRS E4, TNFD, and SBTN: present species, traceability of observations, and shareable documents to support declarations.

    Three free sessions to try it out in the field

    Trying the tool does not require a significant initial investment. You can conduct up to three free sessions without an account; by registering, you receive 10 free credits without a credit card, and each analysis costs just one credit. Additional packages are available for larger volumes.

    A practical tip to get started well:
    1. collect photos, short videos, or audio recordings during a site visit;
    2. for many files, share a public Google Drive folder and avoid the limits of direct upload;
    3. generate the report, verify uncertain identifications, and share the link with the team.
    For companies, it is a concrete starting point to build a biodiversity database that can be repeated over time, useful for both operational monitoring and ESG reporting.
