ÆQUATIC

As we embark on a strengthened partnership with the HCV Network, sealed by yesterday's MOU signing, we sat down with Ruth Silva, Assurance Director at the HCV Network, to discuss the long-standing collaboration between the organisation and the RSPO in shaping and refining the RSPO Standards over the years. A key focus of the conversation was the revision process, where the HCV Network has been instrumental in ensuring the Standards evolve in line with the growing sustainability demands of the industry. Watch the full video for an in-depth look at how these changes are driving meaningful progress in ensuring sustainable palm oil production. #RSPO #RSPONext20 #SustainablePalmOil

Heading to the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) conference in Bangkok? 🌴 🇹🇭 Come and chat with our founders James and Ian, about how nature tech can unlock new value and insights from your HCV monitoring and management! RT 2024 is all about innovating for impact, which aligns perfectly with AEQUATIC's approach to tech-powered, standardised and scalable biodiversity monitoring. Our solutions enable you to monitor the state of biodiversity over time, ensuring your data meets the requirements for HCV identification, monitoring and management for annual sustainability reporting and RSPO disclosures. Additionally, we future-proof our data by continually refining our scientific methods and aligning with frameworks like the TNFD, natural capital accounting and nature credits. If you’re attending the conference, be sure to come and say hello! #RSPO2024 #Biodiversity #HCV #Conservation #NatureTech #Sustainability #AEQUATIC #RSPOBangkokConference #RT2024 #Innovatingforimpact #NaturalCapital

🚀 News Alert 🚨 We are excited to announce that ÆQUATIC has officially joined the HCV Network as Technical Service Providers! 🎉 This marks a major milestone in our journey to streamline and digitalise biodiversity data and reporting in tropical biodiversity hotspots, helping plantation businesses monitor and manage High Conservation Value (HCV) biodiversity areas in Southeast Asia and beyond! 🌏🌴🦧 By applying our unique approach and leveraging cutting-edge biodiversity monitoring technologies, we aim to: 📈⁠ 🐃 Make digital data collection streamlined and scalable across plantation portfolios 🧾⁠🦎 Automated reporting for key biodiversity related standards and certifications ⚖️ 🌳 ⁠Transform biodiversity management and monitoring from a cost into an asset We look forward to working closely with the HCV Network and partners, who are committed to preserving the planet's critical ecosystems.

Happy Earth Day! How many palm oil pest exterminators can you count in this picture (points for the first right answer...)? If you are not sure what we mean, follow these steps: 1. 🐒 Check out Episode 2 (The New Wild) of #DavidAttenborough’s new doc series #Mammals on BBC iPlayer, to get the low down on the gruesome, yet efficient, ecosystem services provided by Pigtailed Macaque’s in #PalmOil #Agriecosystems: https://lnkd.in/eyF7T4RC 2. 🔍 Explore the monetary and sustainability value these guys bring to the palm oil sector and landscapes (reducing poisoning and pesticides use, mitigating annual losses of 112 USD per hectare): https://lnkd.in/eECBPd_i 3.🔬 Don’t take our word for it, read the science for yourself: https://lnkd.in/euBjaysW 4. 📺 Go back and watch the rest of this awesome new series! (Extra points for telling us your favourite mammal-powered ecosystem service in the comments 🐘 🦇 🐆) (P.s. this image was captured by our co-founder Ian Connor Gardiner during his time working under Dr Nadine Rupert at the Macaca Nemestrina Project where this "pest control" behaviour was first observed and quantified. We are super excited to see this project and it’s beautiful biodiversity getting the platform and credit it deserves! Find out more about their project here: https://lnkd.in/etuKcEpf)

ÆQUATIC co-founder James Cryer giving a talk at the Innovate UK & NatWest space for nature pitch event. Awesome to see our name alongside some great emerging companies in the space!

It was great to be part of Innovate UK's program for biodiversity start-ups, hosted by NatWest! The program brought together talented people shaping some of the most exciting new ventures in nature finance. We are really excited for what comes next! A massive thank you to everyone involved. Be sure to check out the cohort and follow on!
