PivotalInside Pivotal
Pivotal combines digital biodiversity inputs (bioacoustics, eDNA, camera traps, remote sensing) with advanced statistics, machine learning and expert ecological review to measure ecosystem condition.
It co-designed the first version of the Plan Vivo PV Nature methodology and data protocol, prioritising accessible, auditable, evidence-based outcomes.
In 2025 Pivotal moved away from credit markets to focus on the relationship between ecosystem condition and supply-chain resilience, prompting Plan Vivo to open PV Nature to multiple data-analytic providers.
A measurement-only biodiversity feed that supplies verified ecosystem-condition data to projects.
