What they do

Inside Cecil

Cecil curates 40+ geospatial datasets for EUDR, TNFD, CSRD and SBTN use cases, spanning biomass, biodiversity, land use and climate risk, ready for Python and analyst workflows.

It manages the full data lifecycle, from scientific curation to harmonisation across sources, on a database optimised for time-series and spatial analysis at scale.

Sources include IBAT, IUCN, the Natural History Museum and the Wildlife Conservation Society for threatened species, protected areas, key biodiversity areas and biodiversity-intactness layers.
