Hula Earth

🌲 Behind the Scenes of Our Biodiversity Monitoring Work 🔬 Sometimes the most important work happens quietly in the forest. Our team has been working with Planted, tracking every heartbeat of this beech forest in Sauerland. Each BioT sensor is like a listening post, capturing the subtle symphony of life. What looks like a simple device nestled in the branches is actually cutting-edge technology transforming how we understand nature. Real-time data, precise measurements, tangible impact. No fancy staging - just our CTO David Schmider getting his boots on the ground for the detailed work of conservation, one sensor at a time. 🏆 Project Highlights: - First-ever biodiversity credits in Germany - Protection of an endangered beech forest for the next 20 years - Tracking nature’s pulse - 24/7 the entire year A special thanks to Lucas von Fürstenberg and Jan 🌳 Borchert for their incredible support. #BiodiversityInAction #FieldWork #NatureTech #Biodiversity #MRV 

🌍 Just left SXSW and I'm still buzzing! What an incredible panel experience we had! 💡Our "One Health" session wasn't just another tech talk - we dove deep into how data can actually help save our planet. 🔬 Jelena Spanjol challenged us perfectly: "Are we getting lost in data while forgetting the real world?" She reminded me why I started Hula - technology should connect us to nature, not replace it. 🏥 Ashok Roy, MD, MPH, MBA expanded the discussion with the human health aspect, highlighting the benefits of data-driven clinical strategies that simultaneously reduce medical spend and improve quality performance. 📊 Frauke Kreuter shared insights on statistical methodologies and we discussed strategies to overcome sampling biases and measurement challenges when collecting data at scale - essential for data-drive decision making. 🪢 The mix of those perspectives - just perfect. 🌱 My highlight was the crucial link between planetary health and human health and the importance of groundtruthing our data and approaches. Our AI models should inform how we understand real data, while our experiences with this data should improve our models. This two way street prevents work from becoming too abstract and disconnected from the living world we're trying to protect. 🦉 At Hula Earth, this is what drives us every day - using IoT sensors and satellite data not just to collect information, but to help businesses truly understand and work with nature. As I tried to emphasize on stage: we owe future generations real, living ecosystems they can experience, not just data about what we lost. 🙏 Huge thanks to these amazing minds for making this panel unforgettable! Katja Schlaug, Julia Christiansen, MUNICH INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM, German Haus , and many more! #SXSW2025 #onehealth #savetheplanet #techforgood #naturetech

Energy Transition in Harmony with Nature: The Potential of Solar Parks 🌱☀️ How can we advance renewable energy without sacrificing biodiversity? 🤔 Land use is a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet solar parks present a unique opportunity. What many don't realize: only 5% of a solar park's area is physically covered by infrastructure (roads, inverters, support poles), with panels shading roughly 50%. This means about 95% of the land can become undisturbed diverse habitats for plants and animals! 🌿🦋 With strategic planning and implementation of nature-positive measures solar parks can be our dual champions against climate change AND biodiversity decline! 💚 But a challenge emerges: how do we ensure the effectiveness of these nature investments? Unlike CO₂ savings that we can precisely calculate per kWh, biodiversity benefits lack standardized metrics. This data gap creates obstacles for: - Evidence-based decision making - Verifying nature-positive claims - Meaningful stakeholder communication But solutions exist! 💡 Join us in the coming weeks as we reveal how nature-compatible solar parks can be thoughtfully designed and scientifically monitored to deliver measurable benefits for both climate and biodiversity. 📊 🔍 #Biodiversity #MRV #SolarEnergy #Sustainability #ClimateAction #PV #Renewables #RenewableEnergy

🌱 Spring has arrived, and with it our BioT roll-out season begins. 🦉 This week we installed our latest sensors at EcoTree International's wetland restoration project in the Pfälzerwald Biosphere Reserve. 🚀 Excited to see our newest BioT iteration at work in this special ecosystem. There's something truly remarkable about these sensors silently documenting the symphony of life - from amphibians and insects to birds and nocturnal bat flights. 📊 The real-time data collected supports EcoTree's restoration efforts with precision and context. Our team is particularly mindful of the protected species in this habitat, including the red-listed blue-tailed dragonfly whose presence serves as a key indicator. 🌿 Looking forward to learning alongside our partners as we gather insights from this sensitive ecosystem over the coming seasons, helping validate the impact of restoration efforts in this precious wetland. #biodiversitymonitoring #wetlandrestoration #naturetech #csrd

🌍 Hula Earth at SXSW in Austin, Texas 🚀 This Saturday, our CEO Florian Geiser takes the stage at SXSW for an incredible panel: "One Health: Data & AI for Humans, Animals & Planet"! He'll be sharing insights alongside remarkable experts: Prof. Jelena Spanjol (LMU Munich Innovation Management) Ashok Roy, MD, MPH, MBA (Chief Clinical Officer, Oasis Health) Prof. Frauke Kreuter (LMU Munich Statistics & Data Science) The panel will explore how data and AI can create holistic solutions for planetary health, connecting human, animal, and environmental well-being. 🙏 Special thanks to German Haus , Digital Hub Initiative, Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz for making this possible! 👉 Full event details: https://lnkd.in/d5t22hWt #OneHealth #SXSW #DeHub #GermanHaus #DataForGood #AI #Sustainability

🌍 Our new Hula dashboard in action! 🚀 Our latest platform update transforms the complex world of biodiversity monitoring into clear, business-ready insights and action-plans. 🌿 We've built a system that doesn't just count species but quantifies restoration progress, translates ecological gains into reporting metrics, and provides the transparency stakeholders demand. 🌾 For regenerative agriculture, we create tailored action plans that enhance resilience, improve soil health, and optimize biodiversity—all while maintaining productive yields and helping farmers meet sustainability requirements. 🌞 For solar projects, we enable showing transparently how green energy and nature can thrive together, helping to align with policy requirements and create solar parks that positively contribute to local ecosystems. 🛰️ The magic happens when our self-sufficient BioT-Sensors and Earth-Observation data fuse together, creating actionable insights for your specific land context. Are you implementing nature-positive practices in agriculture or renewable energy? Let's chat about turning data into impact! #biodiversity #naturetech #mrv #naturebasedsolutions

🏴☠️ When Biodiversity Nerds Turn Pirates! 🌿 At Hula Earth, we believe great innovations come from great teams. We're thrilled to have welcomed several new crew members over the past months, making our team stronger than ever! 🤝 Recently, we stepped away from our BioT sensors for a different kind of adventure. Between pizza slices, puzzle-solving, and drinks afterwards, it was fantastic to see our crew tackling challenges outside the office. 💪 These moments remind us that the best teams thrive both in and out of work. Whether it's developing cutting-edge biodiversity technology or cracking escape room codes - our team's energy makes it all happen. 🌟 Here's to many more team events in 2025! 🎯 Ready to be part of our next adventure?
