About us
Unlocking nature-based climate solutions by accelerating wildland resilience. Vibrant Planet is a prioritization system for land management restoration efforts. Our software provides real-time scenario planning, monitoring, and reporting for natural resource managers, insurers, utilities, and other stakeholders seeking to improve community and wildland resilience to wildfire and climate change. Our system calculates the potential avoided loss and ecosystem services value of each land management and community wildfire protection treatment, helping to qualify projects for carbon, water, biodiversity, and other types of conservation finance.

Great post from Daniel Berlant at California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) on the difference between catastrophic wildfire smoke and Rx fire smoke. Vibrant Planet is thrilled to be working with CAL FIRE to get more Rx fire, or beneficial fire, back on California's fire adapted landscapes -- ecosystems that evolved with regular, natural fire. Rx fire restores landscape resilience and keeps fires from becoming catastrophic by removing fuels.
Curious about the differences between smoke from wildfires and prescribed fires? Let’s break it down! While both produce smoke, prescribed fires are a key tool in preventing catastrophic wildfires by restoring California’s natural fire cycles. These managed burns are carefully planned to reduce health and environmental impacts, in contrast to the dense, long-lasting smoke from uncontrolled wildfires. Stay informed by downloading the California Smoke Spotter app for local updates and tips to protect yourself from smoke. For live fire, smoke, and haze forecasts, and to see where prescribed fires are happening across the state, visit the CAL FIRE incident map at fire.ca.gov. Together, we can protect our health and our environment!

As Placer County's team strategizes mitigating wildfire hazard across its 650,000 forested acres, they need to know where to start. Our platform helped identify projects across an initial 20,000 acres that would tackle the highest hazard – a more manageable starting point! Check out our latest news, and learn how Placer's team plans to protect their community's most at-risk critical assets: https://lnkd.in/eRZggTsd Read the press release: https://lnkd.in/eHFhJ3WZ
