What it does
- Multiple income streams modelled together: BNG units, Nutrient Neutrality credits, Wilder Carbon, Bio Credits, SFI actions, Countryside Stewardship actions, EWCO woodland grant — and others as the ecosystem-services landscape evolves
- Per-habitat rate tables under each scheme, drawing on current published pricing
- Scenario comparison: baseline versus restoration versus mixed land-use
- Cashflow over 5, 10, 30 years, including upfront cost estimates
- Outputs scoped to the user's tier (consultant view, NGO view, landowner view) so each audience sees what's useful
Why it matters
Every nature-restoration decision now sits next to a financial one, and the ecosystem-services revenue landscape changes every twelve months. Ecology App turns the maths into something a land manager or a trustee can read, plan against, and present to a board or a bank.
Example
A nature-restoration consultancy uses Ecology App's habitat-level income model to compare three restoration scenarios for an estate's 220 acres, generating a baseline-versus-scenario cashflow over 30 years that the estate trustees could read alongside the spatial annex. The trustees signed off the preferred scenario at the next quarterly meeting.
