Frutillar, Chile — October 2nd, 2025 — Lemu, Latin America’s leading Nature Tech company making nature visible in every decision, and Chile Nature Fund (Fondo Naturaleza Chile, “FNCh”), Chile’s national conservation trust fund mobilising long-term finance for nature, have signed a collaboration agreement to accelerate the use of high-integrity nature data in conservation planning, monitoring, and financing across Chile.
The agreement was signed on-stage at RedLAC 2025 in Frutillar, during the annual congress of RedLAC, the network that connects environmental and conservation trust funds across Latin America and the Caribbean. FNCh hosted this year’s gathering, convening peer funds, strategic partners, cooperation agencies, and finance actors working to scale conservation outcomes across the region.

Through this collaboration, FNCh will be able to leverage Lemu Atlas and available satellite-derived products to support its mission, while contributing technical and monitoring information that helps validate methodologies and improve real-world performance—so that decisions can be made with greater confidence, comparability, and speed.
Built for trust at scale, the partnership establishes practical rules for data safety, provenance, and traceability—so that when information moves between institutions, it remains attributable, reproducible, and fit for investment and management decisions. This is about responsible stewardship of evidence: making sure conservation finance is guided by insight that can be understood, audited, and continuously improved.
“FNCh exists to channel ambitious, long-term financing for conservation in Chile—bringing together public, private, and international resources behind measurable outcomes,” said Eugenio Rengifo, Executive Director of Chile Nature Fund (FNCh). “Signing this agreement at RedLAC makes the purpose very tangible: we need monitoring that is credible, comparable, and scalable, so capital can flow to what works. This collaboration with Lemu helps turn nature data into traceable intelligence that strengthens how conservation is planned, tracked, and funded.”
“Nature Intelligence becomes powerful when it is trusted—grounded in data, transparent in method, and useful in the real world,” said Leo Prieto, Founder and CEO of Lemu. “Working with FNCh connects advanced Earth observation with one of the most important conservation finance mechanisms in the country. Together we can help ensure that the right decisions—public and private—are informed by the living systems they depend on.”
