Complete Platform
iLoveNatura's interactive environmental monitoring platform lets you create, manage, and analyze monitoring sites directly on the map. Draw polygons with the Geoman drawing tool to define site boundaries (up to 100 hectares), search for locations by address, or browse thousands of public community sites. Each site features a comprehensive KPI dashboard organized into five tabs: Land Use (natural, agricultural, artificial, and water coverage with CORINE Land Cover breakdown), Biodiversity (MSA index with Land Use, Climate Change, Infrastructure, and Fragmentation factors, protected areas, species richness, Shannon and Simpson diversity indices, nesting suitability, beekeeping feasibility, and honey production estimates), Climate (warming stripes, flood risk, aridity, land surface temperature, light pollution, evapotranspiration, and historical/future weather patterns), Census (detected species gallery, camera trap and iNaturalist observation images, 3D LiDAR tree point cloud), and Risk (coming soon). Switch between environmental layers rendered as vector tiles from Geoserver, adjust layer opacity, and use the AI-powered map commentary to generate contextual environmental narratives for any site and layer combination. The platform supports user authentication, with private sites and public community sites displayed side by side on the Leaflet map with color-coded KPI markers.
Who Uses This Tool
Professionals who rely on this analysis
Environmental Consultant
Create monitoring sites for client projects, analyze biodiversity KPIs (MSA, species richness, nesting suitability), and use AI commentary to generate environmental context for due diligence reports and Environmental Impact Assessments.
ESG / Sustainability Manager
Monitor environmental metrics across corporate landholdings. Track MSA index, land use composition, climate indicators, and protected areas coverage for CSRD/ESRS biodiversity and climate reporting (E1, E4).
Urban Planner / Land Manager
Assess land use composition, impermeability, flood risk, and heat island effects for planning decisions. Compare multiple sites on the map and explore species census data to inform nature-based intervention strategies.
What you can do
How it works
Search or browse sites
Open the interactive map and explore public community monitoring sites. Search for a specific location by address, use geolocation, or browse the paginated site list in the sidebar. Sites are displayed as color-coded markers based on the selected environmental indicator.
Create a monitoring site
Click the creation button and follow the 4-step form: draw a polygon on the map to define site boundaries (max 100 hectares), enter a name and description, provide motivation and strategy details, then review and submit. The platform generates KPIs automatically in the background with real-time status tracking.
Explore KPIs and layers
Select any site to open the detail sidebar with five KPI tabs — Land Use, Biodiversity, Climate, Census, and Risk. Switch between environmental layers using the layer selector, adjust opacity, and compare sites by their KPI values displayed on the map markers.
Analyze with AI commentary
Use the AI map commentary feature to generate environmental narratives for any selected site and active layer. Optionally provide a custom prompt to focus the analysis. View existing AI-generated comments and generate new ones to build a knowledge base for each site.
Data Sources & Methodology
The monitoring platform combines European satellite data with land cover classification products to compute environmental and biodiversity KPIs. Site-level indicators are derived from CORINE Land Cover (CLC) data, while map layers are served as vector tiles from the 3Bee Geoserver infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about this tool
1What is the iLoveNatura Map platform?
It is an interactive environmental monitoring platform built on Leaflet and Geoman. You can create sites by drawing polygons, view biodiversity and environmental KPIs across five dashboard tabs (Land Use, Biodiversity, Climate, Census, Risk), explore satellite-derived environmental layers, and use AI-generated commentary for contextual analysis. The platform includes both public community sites and your private monitoring sites.
2How do I create a monitoring site?
Click the creation button (FAB), then follow the 4-step form: first, draw a polygon on the map to define site boundaries (maximum 100 hectares, validated automatically). Second, enter a name and description for the site. Third, provide motivation and strategy details. Fourth, review everything and submit. The system processes the site in the background — you can track progress via status polling, and KPIs appear automatically when generation completes.
3What KPIs are available for each site?
KPIs are organized in five tabs. Land Use shows natural, water, agricultural, and artificial coverage from CORINE Land Cover data. Biodiversity includes MSA index with four pressure factors, protected areas, species richness, Shannon and Simpson diversity indices, nesting suitability, beekeeping feasibility, and honey production. Climate covers warming stripes, flood risk, aridity, land surface temperature, light pollution, evapotranspiration, and geographic context. Census displays detected species, camera trap and iNaturalist observations, and a 3D tree point cloud. Risk is coming soon.
4What environmental layers can I explore?
The platform provides multiple environmental indicator layers rendered as vector tiles from Geoserver: MSA (Mean Species Abundance), protected areas (PA), impermeability, fragmentation (FA), nesting suitability (NS), and MSA sub-components (climate change, infrastructure, land use for animals and plants). You can switch between layers using the selector, adjust opacity with a slider, and see each site's KPI value reflected in color-coded map markers.
5What is the AI map commentary?
The AI map commentary feature generates environmental narratives for a selected site based on the currently active layer. You can open the AI panel, view existing comments, and generate new ones. An optional custom prompt lets you focus the analysis on specific aspects. Comments include the layer type, timestamp, and AI-generated text describing the environmental context.
6Can I see other users' sites?
Yes. The platform displays public community sites alongside your private sites. Public sites are loaded with infinite scrolling pagination and filtered by the current map viewport (bounding box). You can search sites by name, click any site marker on the map to view its KPIs, and explore the full site detail sidebar.
7Is the platform free to use?
The platform offers free access to core features: browsing public sites, exploring environmental layers, viewing KPIs, and using the map. Creating your own monitoring sites requires a free account. Site creation and KPI generation are included with your account at no additional credit cost.
8Does it work on mobile devices?
Yes. The platform is fully responsive. On mobile, site details, site lists, login, and site creation use bottom sheet overlays that slide up from the bottom of the screen. The map supports touch gestures for pan and zoom, and all controls adapt to smaller screens with appropriately sized touch targets.
