Live pilot · Shree Manakamana CF, Kawasoti

Environmental intelligence for Nepal's forests.

We turn drones, satellites and field-grade AI into forest data communities, government and donors can trust — measured from the ground up, not estimated.

Why now

Nepal protects its forests — but can't yet measure them.

Nepal handed nearly a third of its forests to community user groups, one of the world's great conservation stories. Yet the data behind those forests still lives in paper plans and one-off surveys — too coarse to verify carbon, target restoration, or unlock climate finance.

  • 22,000+ community forest user groups managing forest at the parcel level
  • Carbon & biodiversity markets now demand measured, auditable baselines
  • Drones, open satellite data and AI finally make per-tree measurement affordable
The gap

Estimates, not measurements

Most forest figures in Nepal are modelled or sampled coarsely — hard to audit, harder to trade against.

Our wedge

Ground-truth at scale

UAV + AI individual-tree inventory, validated against field plots, delivered as maps and APIs.

Free, no sign-up

Free tools for everyday forest work

Calculators, converters and reference data — built around the methods Nepali foresters already use. The free top of our funnel.

GeoSutra OS

Three products. One operating system.

Observatory, Climate and Carbon run on one platform — satellite feeds, UAV pipelines, AI models, auth and APIs — so every new module ships faster and makes the others better.

Layer 1 · the data platform — live  ·  Layer 2 · industry applications — shipping  ·  Layer 3 · MRV for climate finance — the road ahead

GeoSutra Carbon

The climate back office for Nepal's institutions.

Banks and large organisations increasingly have to measure, report and reduce their footprint. GeoSutra Carbon turns that duty into one workspace — and connects it to the measured forests that can offset it.

  • Measure — activity ledgers with AI bill intake: photograph a fuel invoice or electricity bill and it becomes an editable, validated ledger entry
  • Nepal-first factors — official NEA and DoE emission factors take precedence; ICAO/DEFRA/IPCC apply only where Nepal has published none, and every figure is tagged with its origin
  • Comply — NRB ESRM and Nepal's NDC first, alongside GHG Protocol, ISO 14064-1, IFRS S2, GRI 305 and SBTi — with deadline reminders built in
  • Offset — footprints matched against GeoSutra's measured Nepali forest portfolio, not paper estimates

In private pilot · the demo workspace uses illustrative data, clearly labelled

Every role, one ledger

Leadership, sustainability teams and branch managers each see their own view of the same validated numbers — with approvals routed through a queue.

Branch-level picture

Every branch's footprint and the reduction projects it funds, on a real map of Nepal — with a live scenario modeller for reduction planning.

Board-ready reports

Annual inventory, NRB ESRM-aligned ESG section, board briefing and a GHG Protocol technical annex — exported as PDF and CSV.

The carbon thesis

Nepal's forests are a climate asset.

We measure the carbon stored in Nepal's forests — backed by field inventory, not estimates — and give institutions the ledger to account for and offset their own footprint. Supply and demand, on one platform: that's the market we're building. The money moves around us; the evidence moves through us.
