In an era where precision and transparency are paramount for the credibility of environmental and carbon projects, technology and data platforms like OpenForestsexplorer.land are transforming the landscape for responsible climate investors. We integrated explorer.land’s map-based platform into the Callirius Carbon Management Tool (CCMT) for the detailed visualization of featured forest carbon projects. In combination with the available comprehensive project information, due diligence reports and project ratings, this integration strengthens our customers’ trust and confidence in the positive impact of our projects. This partnership with OpenForests has proven to be a significant advancement in how we monitor, analyze, and present forestry projects, ensuring high standards of transparency, stakeholder engagement, and data accessibility.

What is explorer.land?

Explorer.land combines high-resolution geospatial mapping with rich project data, allowing stakeholders to explore restoration and conservation initiatives interactively. It is packed with user-centric features that enhance its functionality for monitoring projects:

  1. High-resolution maps & 3D discovery: Projects are presented via detailed, cloud-free maps that users can explore in a 3D environment, providing a visual immersion into each project’s landscape.
  2. Geo-referenced project profiles: Each project profile is rich with content, including geospatial data, geo-located images, videos, written descriptions, and news posts, creating a living document of the project’s progress.
  3. Engagement and communication tools: Explorer.land makes it easy for users to support projects financially or through collaboration by offering customizable call-to-action buttons, sponsor pages, and opportunities for social sharing.
  4. Transparency via satellite time series: Projects can monitor project development through satellite imagery and thematic data layers, providing visual evidence of forest growth, land restoration, or conservation efforts over time.

With these features, explorer.land not only displays data but also promotes transparency and trust by documenting stories and tracking carbon sequestration and other project impacts over time.

Integration of explorer.land into Callrius Carbon Management Tool

At Callirius, our Carbon Management Tool is designed to streamline carbon project management, particularly focusing on nature-based solutions such as reforestation and afforestation. Integrating explorer.land into CCMT takes this one step further by giving us the ability to provide enhanced visibility into the on-the-ground realities of forestry projects.

Key benefits of the integration:

  1. Real-time monitoring and data visualization: By integrating explorer.land’s high-resolution imagery and map layers into CCMT, we empower users to monitor project developments in real-time. This visual data can highlight key project milestones, changes in forest cover, or the progress of regeneration activities.
  2. Enhanced transparency and stakeholder confidence: The geo-located news posts and satellite time series give stakeholders (investors, corporate buyers, NGOs) a transparent, real-time view of project outcomes. This integration helps address one of the primary concerns in carbon project investments: trust in delivery and the permanence of carbon sequestration.
  3. Customizable project dashboards: Explorer.land allows us to embed custom KPIs and dashboards tailored to each project’s specific needs. These dashboards can show the progress toward carbon sequestration goals, biodiversity improvements, and socio-economic benefits, providing a holistic view of a project’s impact.
  4. Community and global engagement: Callirius aims to build a community around carbon finance, connecting project developers, corporate buyers, and local communities. Explorer.land’s tools for collaboration and communication are key to fostering this ecosystem, enabling easy sharing of project stories, updates, and opportunities for global collaboration.
  5. Whitelabeling for corporate clients: One of explorer.land’s standout features is the ability to brand portfolios and single projects, giving our corporate clients personalized access to their investments and fostering a closer connection with the projects they are supporting.
