Overview

Global Nature Watch offers a set of core capabilities designed to help you explore, analyze and make sense of geospatial data to help monitor nature.

With Global Nature Watch, you can ask questions in plain language to:

• Discover and learn about trusted data from peer-reviewed sources, made available through Global Forest Watch and Land & Carbon Lab

• Analyze data for your areas of interest and get insights to help make more sense of the data

• Get answers that are tailored to your context as a starting point for reports, policies or project decisions

When you ask a question or provide a prompt (read guidance on how to construct an effective prompt here), Global Nature Watch's AI assistant processes your intent using a system of agents (including Gemini and Claude) to understand your request and set the context - data layer, area, date - for the response.

As you explore, you can save both individual insights and full conversations on the platform. Your saved areas, layers, and conversations stay organized so you can return to earlier work, build up a portfolio of places and questions, and pick up right where you left off.

Because this is an early release of Global Nature Watch, its capabilities will continue to evolve. It is designed to be open, collaborative and transparent so anyone can build on it. Over time, you can expect new features to be added, existing ones to improve, and some to be retired as we learn more about how best to help you work with nature data.
