On August 25, 2026, Lutz Kleemann will present his internship results on ” Verifiable Nature Units” at 12:00 at the seminar room 3 in John-Skilton-Str. 4a.
From the abstract: Biodiversity credits and conservation work increasingly depend on measurable outcomes. During my internship at WWF I implemented a data pipeline for generating Verifiable Nature Units (VNU’s): Outcome based conservation credits built from independent measures on a 1km² hexagonal grid. The measures combine wildlife and remote sensing data over multiple monitoring periods to determine issuable VNU’s. (More infos can be found here: www.africanparks.org/verifiable-nature-unit-vnu)
The presentation gives a broad overview of the VNU concept, the general structure of the pipeline and a reflection on my internship time.
1st supervisor: Elio Rauth
Host: WWF
