SilviaTerra builds technology that combines satellite imagery and field measurements to map tree size and species across U.S. forests and quantify forest carbon. Working with Microsoft’s AI for Earth and U.S. Forest Service data, it created Basemap to process terabytes of imagery and power its services. The company operates the Natural Capital Exchange to originate vetted forest carbon credits and make projects accessible to small landowners. SilviaTerra aims to put carbon markets on equal footing with the timber industry so landowners can compare timber revenue to carbon value. Its tools also have applications in wildfire mitigation and broader land-management decisioning. The business is already profitable according to the article.
