A Nature Contact initiative
Plant trees. Restore a wetland. Cut emissions. Whatever the initiative, Mabata connects the open-source data from the instruments monitoring it — starting with BirdWeather biodiversity sensors — into one verified report you can actually show people.
How it works
Plant a tiny forest, restore a shoreline, install a green roof — whatever action your sustainability commitment is built on.
Set up an open-data instrument at the site — a BirdWeather PUC for biodiversity, for example. No proprietary lock-in, no manual surveys.
e.g. BirdWeather → BirdNETMabata pulls the open-source readings from your device, applies a common accounting framework, and tracks change over time — automatically.
A clear, standardized report of what your initiative has actually accomplished — ready for your council, your board, or your community.
The problem
Mabata exists to give every kind of sustainability initiative — not just tree planting — one open, verifiable accounting framework, built from data that's already public.
First integration
Mabata's first framework module tracks biodiversity outcomes using open BirdWeather / BirdNET data — the same instrument behind Nature Contact's own monitoring stations.
