The Origins of Explorer.land
Explorer.land was founded in 2011 with the aim of improving transparency in reforestation efforts. The co-founder, who initially worked on agroforestry systems in Panama, observed that well-intentioned projects could inadvertently result in negative outcomes, such as deforestation, when not properly managed. This experience underscored the need for a data-driven approach to ensure accountability and effectiveness in environmental projects. By integrating advanced technologies like drones and geospatial databases, Explorer.land aims to deliver reliable data to both project managers and funders, enhancing trust and communication.
