Observe
Open, reliable observations of species, ecosystems and change, collected across scales and built to compound over time.
Science for the common good
Intelligence for
a living planet.
We build the shared data, knowledge and infrastructure the world needs to halt and reverse biodiversity loss.
The will to act is growing.
The capacity to act must grow with it.
Theory of change
Science in service of action.
Make action possible. Ambition alone cannot protect a species, restore a watershed or redirect capital. Institutions need a trustworthy picture of nature, the knowledge to interpret it and infrastructure that turns insight into repeatable decisions.
Understand
Science, local expertise and transparent methods that turn observations into meaning institutions can trust.
Enable
Shared software, standards and networks that make biodiversity intelligence usable, repeatable and available to everyone who needs it.
Shared capacity becomes
collective action.
The outcomes we work toward
- Better
policy. - Smarter
capital. - Stronger
conservation. - Measurable
recovery.
The change we work toward
Halt and reverse biodiversity loss.
Our work
Built as a public good.
1–2 / 3
Open data + software.
Open by design, we turn eligible data, methods and software into versioned, executable and citable public infrastructure others can reproduce and extend.
Research collaboration.
We open KEA’s scientific network and technical capacity to universities, public agencies and philanthropy for focused biodiversity research.
Public advocacy.
We contribute scientific evidence and technical expertise to biodiversity policy, supporting stronger frameworks and more effective implementation.
Governance
that endures
Purpose, protected in the structure.
Protecting the purpose
A guardian
for the mission.
KEA Foundation serves as the mission guardian of KEA Network, a Public Benefit Corporation.
Its shareholding and governance role are designed to keep the company aligned with its public-benefit mission in perpetuity.
Stewarding the network
Shared capacity.
Lasting public good.
Together, we help develop and steward shared knowledge and infrastructure in the public interest.
Built as a lasting public good, with the mission at its heart.
What this means for partners
Continuity.
Value that grows over years.
Independent stewardship designed to preserve the mission beyond any one project and support programs whose value grows over time.
Build the capacity
nature action needs.
An open invitation to research institutions, public agencies, philanthropies and practitioners working to make biodiversity intelligence open, rigorous and actionable. We also pursue grants and philanthropic funding to co-finance eligible development with clients.
