About Guardians Of Earth
Guardians of Earth is a biocultural intelligence platform that transforms ecological data into structured Nature Realms. Each Realm represents a geospatial ecological system integrating biodiversity monitoring, ecosystem services, and human stewardship activity. The platform aggregates biodiversity data from global citizen science and ecological monitoring networks, including applications such as iNaturalist, eBird, PlantNet, and related biodiversity observatories. Each Realm is evaluated using the BioScore — a composite index reflecting ecological condition, data quality, and community engagement — and contributes to the generation of BioCultural Units (BCUs), which represent quantified biocultural value derived from verified engagement with nature. Together, these systems form a global ecological intelligence network designed to measure, connect, and support planetary regeneration.
About Nature Realms
Nature Realms are geospatial ecological intelligence units forming a global network for biodiversity monitoring, ecosystem valuation, and regenerative ecological design. Each Realm functions as a structured ecological entity combining species data, ecosystem services, and human stewardship into a unified model.
