Powering the Intelligence of Our Living Planet
InterNodes combines world-leading forest and biodiversity data, global expert networks, artificial intelligence, and advanced computing to accelerate research and deliver practical environmental solutions.
We are the developer and proprietor of three distinctive products:
Since 2016, through our core initiatives GFBI and Science-i, we have empowered 500+ scientists from around the world to publish 100+ research articles in top scientific journals, with major discoveries in ecology and biodiversity sciences.
Science-i is an AI-enabled cyberinfrastructure supporting more than 600 members across over 55 countries. It provides analytical environments, scalable computing, governance frameworks, and secure data systems for global ecological research.
The Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative—GFBI is a worldwide collaboration of more than 400 forest scientists and foresters working to generate and steward extensive standardized forest inventory and biodiversity datasets.
InterNodes serves as the umbrella organization supporting the long-term development, governance, and institutional sustainability of both initiatives.
InterNodes functions as a global research and AI accelerator for ecological and biosphere science. We develop tools, models, digital twins, and decision-support systems that support:
>Community-led forest conservation and restoration
>Sustainable forestry and land-use planning
>Forest carbon monitoring, reporting, and verification
>Large-scale climate mitigation modeling
>High-integrity forest carbon and nature-based finance
Enabling large-scale ecological research that would be difficult for any single institution to conduct alone.
Translating data, AI, modeling, and field expertise into tools that support real-world environmental decisions.
Working with governments, international organizations, universities, nonprofits, technology partners, and responsible commercial institutions.
Building durable systems for data governance, scientific collaboration, computational infrastructure, and institutional continuity.
InterNodes collaborates with national governments, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, multilateral agencies, technology partners, and leading academic, nonprofit, research, and commercial institutions.
These partnerships help ensure that InterNodes’ data, AI systems, computational tools, and scientific expertise inform policy, investment, research, and on-the-ground action.
