One source of truth

A continuously updated record of your work, anchored to the land

explorer.land helps you map, monitor and report your restoration and conservation work. Bring your project locations, satellite data, field observations and progress updates together on an interactive map. Keep track of what changes over time and make your work visible to partners, funders and the public.

01 · Map

Manage your portfolio

Geo-anchor every project boundary and site on a continuous spatial baseline.

02 · Monitor

Monitor change

Satellite-derived indicators updated monthly: tree cover, canopy height, land use change.

03 · Report

Share your impact

Report to sponsors through maps, embedded on your website or shared by direct link.

01 · Map

Every project, precisely located

Each project gets a permanent, geo-anchored identity: boundaries, parcels and communities, kept as a living record.

Project boundaries

Draw your project footprint or upload KML, GeoJSON or Shapefile, for sites, projects, landscapes and organisations.

Geo-located updates

News, photos and field updates pinned to where they happened, and shown in your embedded map.

Landscape view

Zoom out from one project to the wider mosaic of sites across a region.

Alliances and coalitions

Several organisations’ projects on one shared map, with each member’s work attributed.

Drone footage and 3D view

High-resolution imagery of your land and your project area in three dimensions.

Map embed

Your interactive map on your own website, customisable to match it.

Need a map that looks or works differently?

We customise colours, layout, map base, buttons and animations, or build a fully custom map for your website or report.

02 · Monitor

Monitor real change, at every step

Satellite data, field evidence and expert analysis in one place, across every reporting cycle.

Impact monitoring

Track systemic change against your Theory of Change, from activity to outcome to impact.

Environmental data layers

Forest cover change, fire and deforestation alerts, biodiversity intactness, land use and more, over your own boundaries.

Timeline

A decade of satellite context for every new project, from NICFI Planet and Esri Wayback.

Geo-analytics

Analyse environmental indicators within your project boundaries using satellite data to track changes over time.

Need indicators or data the platform doesn’t cover yet?

We connect your own data through the API, or design and build a custom monitoring or MRV solution with you.
