Plan nature-based solutions in your landscape with confidence.
Navigator
Navigator is an interactive GIS product designed to help you identify where nature-based solutions could create the greatest impact - based on your selected preferences.
Nature-based Solutions are actions to address societal challenges through the protection, sustainable management and restoration of ecosystems, including the reconstruction of ecosystems that have been lost. Building ecosystem cover into your landscape creates resilience and can protect against costly events like drought and flooding. Read more about the benefits of NbS.
Navigator identifies the best locations for reconstructing native ecosystems by providing ten Prioritisation Options. One or all of these can be selected to create a heat map where the best bang-for-buck locations are shown with bright colours. Navigator can be customised by the user or the Eco-index team to include additional spatial layers such as flood mapping.
Navigator X
Navigator X is a 3D, browser-based companion to Navigator that delivers the brilliance of GIS into the hands of everyday users.
No need for GIS skills or software, Navigator X empowers you to explore and customise mapping … in your own landscape.
Navigator X presents a heat map of reconstruction location options overtop satellite imagery but does not have the analytical power of Navigator.
Great for landscape-scale projects, Navigator X can pinpoint the best bang-for-buck places that will benefit from collaborative ecosystem reconstruction investments.
