The Evidence

Not a claim. A count.

Why some figures are round, and some aren't

Where a precise figure exists and can be shared responsibly, we use it. Where a number is directional — such as reforestation counts still being verified in the field — we say so rather than presenting an estimate as exact. The goal of this page is accuracy, not the appearance of precision.

The Long-Form Version

The full State of the Land report.

A complete, downloadable account of the year's restoration work.

Published annually, the State of the Land report goes deeper than any single page can — full methodology, year-over-year comparisons, and the context behind every figure in this Ledger.
