Getmapping and Linckia
Getmapping and Linckia together provide a complete, BNG‑ready Habitat Fabric baseline, combining ecological expertise with trusted geospatial data and over 25 years of historic imagery to support confident planning throughout the ecology survey season.
Built for Better BNG Decisions
Getmapping and Linckia have partnered to help organisations manage the growing complexity of Biodiversity Net Gain. Together, we provide a joint solution that brings ecological expertise together with trusted geospatial data. This gives you a complete, BNG-ready baseline ‘Habita Fabric’, for pre-survey preparation and post survey clean up during the crucial March to September ecology season. With more than 25 years of historic aerial imagery and detailed habitat context, our partnership helps teams plan with confidence and understand landscape change, habitat extent and vegetation structure before going on site.
Who this solution is for:
- GIS Managers who need reliable, BNG-ready datasets that reduce manual editing before and after surveys
- Senior Ecologists and Biodiversity Managers who want to minimise office preparation time, understand habitat extent and vegetation cover early and apply ecological judgement in the field
The value we deliver:
- Start with confidence: A complete, pre-classified BNG baseline, ‘Habitat Fabric’ with no gaps or overlaps for reliable pre-survey preparation
- Save time and cost: Up to 90 percent savings compared with traditional image processing
- Plan with context: High resolution aerial imagery and more than 25 years of historic data provide insight into habitat change, landscape context and long-term ecological patterns
- Work smarter: Seamless integration with BNG platforms and simple adjustments in the field or during post-survey clean-up
Our joint solution includes:
- Habitat Fabric from Linckia: A pre-classified BNG layer with UKHab standards, geometry checks and integrated attribution, giving you a clean and reliable starting point for identifying habitat extent, vegetation cover and landscape context
- Geospatial data from Getmapping: High resolution aerial imagery and more than 25 years of historic data that provide long term ecological insight and support accurate planning, compliance and post survey validation
