Evaluate your impacts on nature!
Using remote sensing indices derived from satellite images, NVP calculates your impact on nature using a set of key indicators for different ecosystem services, based on the international classification standard.
Provisioning services
Represent the potential of ecosystems to deliver material goods and products to people, such as wood from a forest, or fresh water from a river.
Agricultural areas
Areas potentially contributing to the growth of harvestable crops
Agricultural areas play a fundamental role in food production, economic impact through rural employment, soil health, water resources and carbon sequestration, among others.
Pastures for livestock
Areas potentially supporting livestock production
Meadow and pasture areas are often related to essential resources for livestock and pastoral livelihoods, but they can also be key areas for biodiversity, carbon sequestration, water regulation and soil erosion.
Surface water
Area of surface water
The availability of surface water has an impact on the health of ecosystems, the supply of fresh water, recreational and tourist activities, and even on supporting the production of hydroelectric power.
Regulating services
Represent the capacity of ecosystems to regulate and maintain ecological processes in order to provide beneficial conditions for people.
Soil protection
Vegetation areas protecting soil from erosion
Soil plays a critical role in food security, but also in maintaining functional biodiversity and mitigating climate change in the long term.
Habitat maintenance
Areas for terrestrial vegetation habitats
The presence of vegetation is essential for maintaining habitat and conserving biodiversity by supporting species that have essential ecosystem functions.
Hydrological control
Vegetation areas with the ability to retain and regulate water processes
Vegetation plays a multifaceted role in water retention and therefore in the hydrological maintenance of ecosystems, which are essential for maintaining the health and resilience of water resources around the world.
Climate regulation
Vegetation areas contributing to climate regulation
Through photosynthetic processes, vegetation contributes to carbon sequestration and storage, which has implications for local and global climate.
Wildfire resilience
Areas with reduced susceptibility to fire due to vegetation
Improving an area’s resilience to fires is crucial for the safety of communities, the health of ecosystems and adaptation to climate change.
Cultural services
Represent the intangible services of ecosystems that contribute to a series of often intangible benefits, such as the recreational value of a forest or the aesthetics of a landscape.
Landscape appreciation
Biophysical characteristics of landscapes that make them attractive for appreciation
A landscape with a diverse mosaic of colours tends to be more attractive, promoting mental health, a sense of belonging and other personally fulfilling interactions in nature.
