The view from the Cuipo Tree: Rethinking Biodiversity Beyond Protected Areas
Biodiversity Biodiversity is often discussed in abstract terms, percentages protected, species at risk, and hectares conserved. Ecological networks operated at vast and local spatial scales. It lives at the intersection of forests and farms, rivers and roads, protected areas and working landscapes. Geospatial intelligence allows us to see these intersections clearly: to understand where species
The Future of Geospatial: Key Trends for 2026
The geospatial sector has evolved and rapidly grown over the past decade, and in 2026, its role within organisations is more critical than ever. What was once primarily used for mapping and visualisation has become a powerful intelligence tool, connecting data, places, and decision-making across industries. As organisations face increasing pressure to operate sustainably, manage
Streamlining ArcGIS License Management with Automation
The increasing complexity of ArcGIS licensing in recent versions has created challenges for organisations managing larger numbers of users with diverse needs. The legacy license manager for ArcMap and earlier versions of ArcGIS Pro, along with a small number of user types and roles, have now been superseded. ArcGIS Pro licensing has now been consolidated into ArcGIS Enterprise and aligned with user types, which themselves have more fine-grained licensing options. Overlaying this evolving licensing
Teaching Conservation at the Heart of the Coral Triangle
This past summer, I returned to a remote corner of Indonesia, the Wakatobi Marine National Park. The National Park sits at the epicentre of the Coral Triangle, home to the highest marine biodiversity on Earth. However, this time, I wasn’t there as a researcher or on holiday. Instead, I was teaching the next generation of…

Protecting Biodiversity in Manufacturing
Biodiversity Biodiversity and nature provide all of the essentialecosystem services, including clean water resources,pollination activities, disease control, soil formation,climate regulation, cultural contributions and muchmore, that underpin the majority of global industriesand supply chains today. Loss of these ecosystem services is projected to cost the global economy over $2.7 trillion by 2030. Recognising this, the United
Future Proofing Cities for Climate Resilience
Smart Cities What causes strain on urban infrastructure around the globe? The increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, driven by climate change, have placed significantstrain on urban infrastructure globally. From prolonged heatwaves and fires to intense storm systems, these disruptions are impacting network resilience causingwidespread damage, severe flooding and traffic chaos on our
