Our Mission

„We live in an economic system that doesn't give its right value to the services that a forest provides from an environmental perspective.“ This is what Diego Saez Gil (Co-Founder and CEO of Pachama) explains in the “My Climate Journey Podcast”. And it's 100% true. How can deforestation still lead to a higher economic value than sustainable forestry? While we're running towards a climate crisis and are thinking of solutions for “artificial” carbon capture, we destroy parts of our “natural” solution at the same time. How do we want to change that? By quantifying the ecosystem performance of our nature and providing valuable insights to certifiers and forestry industry. This allows data-driven decision making based on transparent data.

At Hula Earth, we aim to stop the global decline of biodiversity. Beyond conservation, we are pioneering biodiversity investments, addressing the $730 billion annual need to achieve nature positivity by 2030. We connect conservation experts with companies funding impactful projects. Our advanced monitoring tool blends satellite data, IoT sensors, and AI to provide a 360-degree view of nature, enabling verifiable certificates with unmatched transparency. Join Hula Earth to help create a data-driven future for our planet.

We believe everyone can make a difference. Supporting Hula Earth means joining a movement dedicated to protecting our world, fostering a future where biodiversity thrives and ecosystems flourish.

Our Story

Our story began in Munich in 2023, driven by a shared passion for technology and the environment. As a dynamic startup, we set out to revolutionize the way biodiversity is quantified, leveraging cutting-edge machine learning skills and satellite data. Our mission is to provide precise, real-time insights into the state of our planet's ecosystems, empowering conservation efforts worldwide. By combining advanced analytics with satellite imagery, we developed innovative solutions that offer unprecedented accuracy in monitoring biodiversity. Our journey is fueled by a commitment to harnessing the power of technology to protect and preserve the natural world for future generations.

Hula has achieved a significant milestone by creating an advanced, data-driven monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) solution to aid in biodiversity conservation. The Hula BioT device provides real-time monitoring of biodiversity and wildlife detection. Furthermore, satellites collect crucial data on natural developments, surface conditions, and environmental trends. When integrated with the Hula platform, the device offers valuable insights such as air quality, detection of nearby animals through a microphone, stored carbon dioxide levels, and real-time ecosystem resilience.
