Hello Users of the ESII Tool!

We are pleased to announce that we have completed a major overhaul of the ESII Tool, which now includes biodiversity models. The new platform, called Ecosystem Intelligence (EI), is available at https://www.ecosystemintelligence.com. A significant upgrade is the addition of an Android Mobile App for field data collection, complementing our existing iOS app. This expansion will improve accessibility for users worldwide. If you have existing projects in the ESII Tool, your account and data can be transferred to the new system, where you'll benefit from enhanced functionality. Please contact us at info@ecosystemintelligence.com with any specific needs or concerns. Thank you.

The Ecosystem Services Identification & Inventory Tool, or the ESII Tool, is an iPad app and web interface that lets people understand the benefits that nature provides and incorporate the value of nature into decision making.
