NatureAlpha and The Nature Conservancy Partner to Open Conservation Science Data to Investors and Policymakers #

NatureAlpha, a London-based AI-powered nature intelligence platform, has announced a collaboration with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to make geospatial conservation science data openly accessible to investors, companies, and policymakers. Both organizations say the initiative is designed to accelerate nature-positive decision-making.

The partnership centers on a geospatial science data-sharing platform that gives financial actors and policymakers direct access to TNC’s conservation datasets. NatureAlpha says the initiative is intended to support alignment between investment strategies and nature-positive outcomes, helping stakeholders understand how economic activity relates to the natural world.

The initiative builds on NatureAlpha’s Geoverse 2.0 platform, launched in March 2025. That platform applies 28 geospatial layers, including state-of-nature and biodiversity assessments, to the analysis of 8.5 million asset locations worldwide, with a claimed 99.5% accuracy in asset-level nature risk profiling. Geoverse 2.0 is also designed to help companies meet obligations under the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which requires firms to disclose their environmental impacts, including biodiversity footprint.

By integrating TNC’s science-grade conservation data into the NatureAlpha infrastructure, the two organizations aim to close what they describe as a persistent gap between raw conservation knowledge and the financial analytics tools required to act on it. TNC maintains a Geospatial Conservation Atlas, an open portal of maps and datasets used to guide conservation planning across more than 80 countries.

The partnership comes amid growing demand for reliable nature-risk data in financial markets. Regulatory frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) have pushed asset managers and corporations to understand and disclose their dependencies and impacts on natural ecosystems. NatureAlpha says Geoverse 2.0 is built for both purposes: meeting disclosure requirements and supporting nature-positive portfolio construction.

The agreement with TNC adds to NatureAlpha’s scientific credentials as the company expands commercially. In late 2025, DNV, the Norwegian assurance and risk management group, selected NatureAlpha as its nature and biodiversity data partner, with Geoverse 2.0 now accessible to DNV’s global client base.
