Geospatial Risk Maps
Go Balance has pioneered precise satellite-generated maps of the Amazon region since 2011, using cutting-edge technology that tracks deforestation at a remarkable 1-hectare per pixel resolution.
Our methodology, developed in collaboration with Brazil's space agency (AEB) and aligned with UK government standards, prevents critical issues like data manipulation and greenwashing. By meticulously tracking forest changes, we ensure carbon credits accurately reflect real environmental impact.
Key map features include:
• Pixel-level precision preventing over-counting of deforestation risks
• Comprehensive tracking that captures cumulative forest loss
• Baseline updates every five years to maintain credit accuracy
• Zero credits assigned to very low-risk areas
This approach makes it easy to verify that your carbon credits are driving genuine environmental protection, not inflated statistics.

Working with Go Balance and the team has been a transformative experience! Their commitment to providing access to high-quality carbon credits is impressive, and their community programs truly reflect their dedication to positive environmental impact. The added layer of insurance protection for buyers gives me and the buyer peace of mind, knowing their investment is secure. I also appreciate their fantastic geospatial platform, which allows me or the buyer to view projects transparently and track progress effectively. I highly recommend Go Balance to anyone looking to make a meaningful contribution to sustainability!

Precise Geospatial Monitoring of Deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest
Go Balance
Go Balance develops Jurisdictional REDD+ forest protection projects in Brazil's Amazon Rainforest that generate high-integrity carbon credits through advanced geospatial monitoring and data-driven verification. Their innovative approach:
Relies on the strict Natural Forest Standard (NFS)
Delivers transparent, scalable carbon offsetting solutions
Creating measurable environmental and social impact.
By harnessing satellite monitoring and comprehensive risk management frameworks, Go Balance ensures every carbon credit is independently verified to ISO standards. This provides clients with the confidence and transparency needed to meet their sustainability goals while supporting critical rainforest conservation and local community development initiatives.
