Every figure on this site carries one of these. That is the whole product.

The distance is the point

541,203

hectares of land recorded under management or restoration by bodies in this record.

541,203 ha recorded — 0.15%350,000,000 ha pledged

Against the Bonn Challenge commitment. The two figures measure different things — area under recorded management is not area restored — and almost all of the distance between them is simply what nobody has written down yet. Absence from this record means we have not got there. It does not mean nothing is happening.

MethodHow a figure is admitted

Every comparable registry asks you to trust it. This one asks you to check.

The usual model is self-report: an organisation types a number into a form and the number becomes the record. Two such platforms were caught overstating by journalists rather than by their own systems. Working the other way round costs more and moves slower, and it is the only part of this that cannot be copied.

Where a figure comes fromUsually — The organisation itself, typed into a formHere — A document, with a link to it
What a reader can verifyUsually — That somebody submitted itHere — The document itself, from the page, now
When it proves wrongUsually — It stands until someone complainsHere — A correction supersedes it and the old value stays visible
When no source can be foundUsually — The figure is published anywayHere — There is no figure. Missing beats unsourced
When you ask to come offUsually — A review processHere — Same day, automatically, with no review step

Where the record reaches

1 country so far. The empty space is the work — absence here means we have not got there, not that nothing is happening.
