A Project can represent work such as forest restoration, biodiversity monitoring, rewilding, conservation data collection, acoustic monitoring, community stewardship, or another nature-based effort.
What a Project does
📖 Tells your story
Explain who you are, what you are doing, where the work happens, and why it matters.
🔎 Holds your evidence
Link observations, sounds, tree data, files, reports, and external links that support your work.
📣 Builds visibility
Share your Project with funders, partners, reviewers, community members, and other supporters.
📊 Supports reporting
Use your Project as a record for stewardship, impact reporting, grants, and funding conversations.
What a Project can include
A Project can bring together:
the story and purpose of the work
who is leading or contributing to it
where the work is happening
project goals and updates
biodiversity observations
photos and field notes
bioacoustic recordings
tree data
drone imagery
files, reports, dashboards, or external evidence links
other evidence reviewed or supported by the GainForest team
Creating a Project
When creating a Project, start with a clear name and a short summary that people can understand quickly.
Use a clear Project name and a short summary.
Then explain the Project story: what work is being done, what methods are used, what evidence exists, and what is changing over time.
The Project story helps people understand the work, methods, and evidence.
You can also choose focus areas that describe the type of work, such as nature monitoring, reforestation, forest protection, or community stewardship.
Focus areas help people understand what kind of work the Project represents.
When the Project is created, it becomes ready to share and receive support.
Once created, your Project can be shared and updated with evidence.
Projects and evidence
Data uploads can be linked to a Project as supporting evidence. This helps others understand what happened, when it happened, where it happened, and what data supports the Project’s story.
For example, a Project might include:
biodiversity observations from a weekly BioBlitz
bioacoustic recordings from an AudioMoth deployment
tree data showing planted, regenerated, or existing trees
drone imagery reviewed through the batch upload process
files, reports, dashboards, or external evidence links
