How we calculate CO₂ — and why it looks conservative

Each tree's passport carries an estimate of 10 kg of CO₂ per year of verified life— a deliberately conservative figure for young, establishing indigenous trees in dryland conditions. We do not model hypothetical mature-forest biomass, and we count nothing for trees that haven't been verified in the field. When a tree dies, its accrual stops. If our numbers look smaller than other programs', this is why — ours are attached to individual living trees you can visit.

Monitoring the standard way — not our own way

Credible restoration depends on standardized reporting. Rather than invent a private yardstick, we align our methodology with established, peer-reviewed frameworks so our numbers can be compared against the wider restoration field. We use the Restoration Monitoring Tool Finder to match each indicator to a proven tool, and lean on field-tested open instruments such as Collect Earth for satellite-assisted plot sampling and TreeMapper for ground-truth tree records — the same approach used by leading conservation organisations worldwide.

Why is it important to monitor restoration?

“Without good data, we're flying blind. If you can't see it, you can't solve it.”

Without data on where restoration is succeeding or failing, it is difficult to leverage resources for the greatest possible impact — and easy to keep blindly initiating activities without ever learning from outcomes. Measuring our work is how we stay accountable to the forests, the funders and the communities we serve.
