What it is
One Earth is a science-based platform mapping the world's bioregions and regeneration projects. Their interactive map visualizes 185 bioregions, each with detailed ecological assessments and lists of active conservation and restoration projects. The platform also publishes research on climate solutions, land conservation targets, and biodiversity protection strategies. Founded by sustainability leaders, One Earth bridges scientific research with on-the-ground conservation action.
Why we picked this
One Earth transforms the abstract concept of 'protecting nature' into a navigable map of specific places and specific projects. Want to know what regeneration looks like in your bioregion? One Earth shows you. Want to find organizations actually doing restoration work in specific ecosystems? One Earth lists them. For solarpunk thinkers, this is where imagination meets geography: real places where the future is being built.
Key takeaways
- The platform maps 185 bioregions with detailed ecological assessments, providing a science-based framework for understanding where conservation is most needed and most effective.
- Each bioregion page lists active regeneration projects, connecting supporters with on-the-ground organizations doing the work.
- One Earth's research has contributed to the scientific case for protecting 50% of Earth's land area to prevent biodiversity collapse.
