OUR SERVICES

Borneo Futures is highly experienced in Land Use Change Assessments (LUCA) as part of RSPO's certification process for oil palm estates. Our LUCA process ensures compliance with RSPO standards, providing accurate and comprehensive assessments that help companies meet regulatory requirements and demonstrate sustainable land management practices.

Our Critical Habitat Assessment (CHA) adheres to international standards such as the IFC Performance Standards, the World Bank Environmental and Social Standards (ESS) and the ADB Environmental Safeguards. We support government and private institutions in assessing and managing project risks and mitigating impacts on high biodiversity areas through expert field surveys, spatial analysis, species assessments, and habitat mapping.

Specializing in Biodiversity Assessments, we evaluate ecological diversity at project sites to ensure compliance with environmental standards. We provide innovative and scientifically robust guidance to clients whose operational activities may impact biodiversity, primarily in tropical areas. Our assessments not only identify potential biodiversity impacts of activities but also provide actionable recommendations in line with application of the Mitigation Hierarchy to minimize environmental footprint and enhance biodiversity conservation efforts.

With our comprehensive remote sensing and GIS capabilities, we conduct land cover classifications that categorize different land cover types according to the Clients’ objectives. These assessments are for effective land use planning, natural resource management, and environmental monitoring. We can identify a wide range of land use and land cover classes by utilizing various data sources, including satellite imagery, to ensure accurate classification results.

Leveraging advanced GIS and remote sensing technologies, our spatial team deliver tailored solutions for environmental and biodiversity management. We integrate diverse datasets to provide accurate spatial data collection, processing, and interpretation, which supports informed decision-making and sustainable practices.

We apply innovative biodiversity monitoring and management techniques, such as surveys, camera trapping, spatial analysis and citizen science, to provide reliable species trends, which are essential for guiding sustainable practices and informing effective conservation efforts.

With extensive in-house experience in the sustainability sector, Borneo Futures provides companies with assistance in writing and editing sustainability messaging, such as that for sustainability reporting, applications for sustainability awards, and smaller features for the general public that showcase specific sustainability initiatives.
