The
Operating System for Nature

Precise. Scalable. Verifiable.

Restoration Planner

Plan mangrove restoration
with confidence.

Assess site suitability, identify priority areas,
and make informed restoration decisions.

Our mission

Nabat is building the operating system for nature.

An end-to end AI platform to restore and manage the planet's most critical ecosystems at scale.

Nabat is a nature-tech company combining AI and ecological science to assess and monitor coastal and dryland ecosystems, and support restoration through nature-based solutions.

Our environmental monitoring solutions help organizations understand ecosystem conditions, track restoration progress and make data-driven decisions to protect, restore and manage ecosystems at scale.

Coastal

7M ha of mangrove ecosystems are at risk of collapse by 2050. That is 50% globally.

Arid

1B ha of dry lands are degraded. That is 10-20% globally.

PLATFORM

NabatOS

A complete AI-powered ecosystem management platform, that supports the full journey of government environmental agencies, corporate ESGs, project developers, and nature investors.

From accurate data to scalable action, to verified outcomes.

Methodology

NabatOS pipeline

Manages ecosystems from data capture to verified outcomes.

01

Map

Multi-sensor acquisition: survey drones, satellites, field sensors, LiDAR, SAR, optical. mm-resolution aerial and marine coverage. Data ingested directly into NabatOS for Ether-powered analysis.

02

Assess

Ether-powered habitat intelligence: land cover classification, species identification, canopy structure, biomass estimation, and health scoring — across the full site at scale.

03

Plan

AI-led site suitability scoring: restoration zone mapping integrating hydrology, salinity gradients, sediment dynamics, and species-habitat fit. Interventions tested against multiple failure conditions.

04

Restore

Autonomous seeding mission planning and execution: AI-optimized UAV flight paths, precision dispersal by site zone. Seed and sapling detection. Ground-truth integration for emergence confirmation.

05

Monitor

Continuous satellite and drone-based growth tracking: risk alerts and health change detection in near real-time. Stress signals detected before they become visible to the human eye.

06

Verify

Data-lineage-backed outcome verification: carbon sequestration estimates, biodiversity recovery metrics, audit-ready reporting for carbon markets and compliance.

INTELLIGENCE LAYER

Ether

Nabat's self-supervised geospatial AI foundation model — trained on petabytes of coastal and arid habitat data at mm-level resolution, across millions of hectares.

It drives every analysis in NabatOS: from land cover classification and site suitability scoring to biomass estimation, carbon sequestration modeling, and real-time health change detection. Purpose-built for the ecosystems where no off-the-shelf model works.
