Landseed Launches Earth Credits: Sensor-Based Conservation Credits for Financial Company Buyers

Landseed has launched a new model for conservation finance called Earth Credits. The company uses sensor hardware, named the Earth Pulse Node, to measure ecological outcomes like wildlife presence, soil moisture, water quality, and soil carbon every 10 minutes. These measurements are verified and turned into credits that belong to the conservation organization generating them. The credits can then be sold on voluntary markets, providing a recurring revenue stream instead of one-time grants or donations. Greg Curtis, who co-founded Landseed with Alex Roessner and Eric Dinerstein, said the idea came from seeing how hard it was for conservation partners to raise money. The credits are more holistic than just carbon, covering a wider set of ecological outcomes. Buyers include companies, municipalities, and foundations. Landseed plans to add acoustic monitoring in the future. The key question is whether the sensor data can become a trusted, tradable credit at scale, as the model depends on projects, buyers, and verification aligning in the same market.
