ARAUCO opens biodiversity data through Lemu-Atlas


Communities, researchers, and organizations will be able to access environmental information generated by the forestry subsidiary through Lemu-Atlas, a platform that integrates satellite data, artificial intelligence, and science to analyze ecosystems. The initiative aims to facilitate access to relevant biodiversity information and strengthen decision-making in the territories where the company operates.

In this first phase, the tool incorporates the analysis of more than 91,500 hectares of ARAUCO’s heritage distributed across 20 conservation zones in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, including high-value ecosystems such as alerzales [alerce forests], Maule and Valdivian forests. The platform delivers 24 indicators across seven categories, including biodiversity, water, carbon, climate, and vegetation.

Guillermo Olmedo, director of Environment and Social Value at ARAUCO, noted that “moving toward more open and collaborative land management is essential. Making this information available not only reflects our commitment to transparency, but also to generating shared value with the communities and different players who inhabit and care for these ecosystems.”
