Gaia Vista: Nature on the Balance Sheet

Reimagining How the World Sees, Values, and Funds Nature

Gaia Vista is Seatangle’s flagship initiative to bring nature onto the balance sheet—making the value of ecosystems visible, measurable, and fundable.

At a time when nature finance and conservation action are often fragmented, Gaia Vista offers a unified, data-driven model for identifying, managing, and investing in the world’s most vital ecosystems—starting with UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Balearic Islands.

Why Gaia Vista?

Nature underpins every economy. Yet it remains invisible in the metrics that drive decisions—GDP, profit, and national wealth. Gaia Vista aims to shift this paradigm by integrating Natural Capital Accounting, ecosystem service valuation, and verified conservation finance into how we govern, invest in, and protect the planet.

We believe the future of climate and biodiversity action lies not just in more funding, but in better valuation and visibility. Gaia Vista makes that future tangible.

Pilot Launch: The Balearic Islands

In collaboration with local partners, research institutions, and global experts, Gaia Vista is piloting this approach across World Heritage marine and terrestrial sites in Ibiza, Mallorca, and Menorca.

  • Ecosystem Mapping (land, sea, and DNA-based biodiversity)

  • Natural Capital Accounts using IDEEA Group’s Data4Nature platform

  • Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Nature Equity modeling
