E91 Sylvain Vaquer: Revolutionising Nature Monitoring

This week, we sit down with Sylvain, the visionary co-founder and CEO of Mozaic Earth, to explore how technology, community, and a deep respect for nature are converging to fix the human-nature relationship. By combining cutting-edge tech with large-scale community engagement, Mozaic Earth delivers highly accessible and low-cost ‘ground-truth’ nature data to the companies that need it most.With over a decade of experience as a sustainability strategist, Sylvain has guided senior leaders in the energy industry to transition their portfolios towards low-carbon, sustainable solutions. Frustrated by the fragmented approach to tackling the climate crisis and the slow pace of change, Sylvain recognised the urgent need for a more systemic perspective that values nature’s interconnected role in addressing global challenges. This led him to found Mozaic Earth, which provides affordable and accurate site-level habitat, biomass and biodiversity data to drive the growth of nature-positive markets, regulations, and behaviours.Originally from France, Sylvain’s career has spanned the US, South America, the UK, Europe and the Middle East. An adventurer at heart—the gnarlier, the better—and a die-hard Arsenal fan, his long-term goal is to empower one billion people to become custodians of our most valuable asset: nature!
