FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BigEarthData.ai Launches as a Biosphere-First Environmental Intelligence Platform
New York, New York – Dec. 27, 2025
BigEarthData.ai has launched as a new environmental intelligence platform dedicated to protecting the environment, climate, and people for global ecological sustainability. The platform helps the public, researchers, journalists, and decision-makers better understand the accelerating climate and ecological crisis through real-time data, science, and AI-assisted synthesis.
A first-of-its-kind Deep Ecology GenAI tool is online now at: https://bigearthdata.ai
BigEarthData.ai is an initiative of Big Earth Data, a long-standing environmental and AI research organization founded by environmental scientist and deep ecologist Dr. Glen Barry. Big Earth Data builds on the legacy of EcoInternet, one of the earliest global environmental information networks, which helped pioneer deep ecology informed online ecological advocacy and reporting from 1990 to 2020.
BigEarthData.ai integrates
millions of global news articles, peer-reviewed scientific research, and
continuously updated environmental data streams into a single searchable
system. The platform combines advanced AI semantic search with a generative AI
interface, Lil Dr Glen EcoChat, to provide evidence-based, biosphere-centered
responses to urgent ecological questions in Dr. Barry’s voice.
"Humanity is facing a rapidly
narrowing window to stabilize Earth’s life-support systems, and artificial
intelligence has emerged just as the stakes could not be higher,” said Barry. "BigEarthData.ai
exists to cut through noise, denial, and fragmentation, and to ground public
understanding in the best available science and real-world environmental
signals."
Unlike conventional news or AI
tools, BigEarthData.ai is explicitly biosphere-first. Its design reflects a
core premise: modern civilization, the economy, and artificial intelligence itself
depend entirely on a functioning biosphere. The platform treats ecological
integrity, planetary boundaries, biodiversity protection, and climate stability
as non-negotiable baselines for understanding global events and policy choices.
BigEarthData.ai provides:
- AI semantic search across
climate, environment, science, biodiversity, Indigenous issues, and related
global topics
- Lil Dr Glen EcoChat, a
generative AI system grounded in curated environmental news and scientific
research
- Continuous updates via RSS feeds
and APIs, with new content added 24/7
- Source transparency that allows
users to trace AI-generated responses back to underlying evidence
- A Bluesky social media stream
providing real-time environmental intelligence and commentary at https://bsky.app/profile/bigearthdata.bsky.social
BigEarthData.ai is built around a
simple reality: planetary systems are destabilizing faster than institutions
and public understanding can adapt. Grounded in the recognition that humanity
is undermining Earth’s life-support systems, the platform integrates science,
data, and journalism to help society understand and respond to escalating,
interconnected ecological risks shaping the human future.
"Technology has a role to play in protecting the living Earth," Barry said. "But only if it is aligned with ecological reality rather than short-term optimization or abstract growth."
BigEarthData.ai is now live and
publicly accessible. It is an independent project of Dr. Barry and does not
represent the views of his employer.
