The Intelligence
Behind the Model

CARE uses cutting-edge research tools and partnerships to guide sustainable investment where it’s needed most—making every decision data-informed and impact-driven.

CARE’s Earth
Observation Technology

Satellite imagery provides a clear, scalable view of how ecosystems are changing over time. CARE uses this technology to map opportunity, monitor biodiversity, and identify early signals of stress or growth—allowing us to act smarter and faster, in partnership with local communities.

Looking to support climate-smart development? Our model starts with the big picture—literally.
