Welcome
We are a scientific research company with a difference… we always put the needs of local communities and their environment at the centre of our projects.
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
We use cutting edge technologies and approaches from remote sensing and GIS applications to speed geeking that fall under the Knowledge Management umbrella if it helps in capturing, assimilating and create new spatial “knowledge”, that shapes & increases the Intellectual Capital of partners and endusers

People who inspire us ...
“You can make a lot of speeches, but the real thing is when you dig a hole, plant a tree, give it water, and make it survive. That's what makes the difference.”
Wangari Maathai
Kenyan social, environmental and political activist
“Whatever happens to seed affects the web of life. When you control seed you control food. Genetic engineering has never been about saving the world, it's about controlling the world.”
Vandana Shiva

“A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt
32nd President of the United States
“Water is being depleted many, many times faster than nature can replenish it. This means that instead of living on water income we are now living on water capital and we are facing water bankruptcy.”
Maude Barlow
Canadian author and activist
"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about."
