Globe
The Globe is a 3D map on GainForest.app for exploring organizations, Projects, and mapped environmental work around the world.
What the Globe is for
The Globe helps people see where environmental work is happening, not just read about it.
It can help:
nature stewards show where their Projects are located
organizations make their work more visible
supporters explore Projects by place
funders understand the geographic context of a Project
communities connect Project evidence to real landscapes
What you can explore
On the Globe, users can explore:
Organizations
Browse organizations with public profiles and mapped activity.
Project sites
View mapped Project locations or site boundaries where available.
Land cover
Turn on land cover layers based on ESA WorldCover data.
Tree data
Explore measured tree data where organizations have uploaded it.
Drone and data layers
View extra map layers, including drone or structured geospatial data where available.
Ma Earth Projects
Filter for organizations connected to Ma Earth funding rounds.
Globe views
The Globe has different views depending on where you enter from:
Global view — browse organizations and mapped activity around the world.
Organization view — focus on one organization and its mapped Project sites.
Project view — focus on one Project and its site boundaries, where those boundaries are available.
Project and organization pages may include a View on Globe link when there is mapped location information.
Layers and filters
The Globe includes filters and layers that help users focus on different kinds of data.
Examples include:
Ma Earth organizations
organizations with drone or data layers
organizations with tree data
land cover classes such as tree cover, cropland, wetlands, mangroves, water, grassland, shrubland, and built-up areas
measured tree points where tree data is available
time-series drone layers where the same area was captured on different dates
How this connects to Projects
A Project becomes easier to understand when its story, evidence, and location are connected.
The Globe helps show the spatial side of a Project: where the work is happening, which areas are mapped, and what data layers are connected to the place.
What is a Project?Linking Evidence to ProjectsIf you do not see your Project on the Globe
A Project may not appear on the Globe if it does not yet have mapped location information or site boundaries.
If your organization needs to add larger geospatial data, drone imagery, tree data, or other structured map layers, use the batch upload process.
