A way for planetary intelligence to know itself.
— after Carl Sagan
ERA² — the Ecosystem Restoration Atlas, and what it is becoming
Nearly five thousand restoration projects, mapped and made legible — a census of what is already working, curated from across the global field. That exists today. What it is becoming is larger: an Oracle of EcoRestoration — a place where the world’s restoration knowledge, Indigenous wisdom, and machine intelligence answer one question together: “How can we heal together?”
What exists today: the Big Map
4,900+
curated restoration projects — explore by place, biome, and method. Curated from many sources across the global field; a census, not a wish list.

The atlas
The Big Map: explore 4,400+ projects by place, biome, and method.
Ask the map
Natural-language search over the atlas — questions in, grounded answers out.
The Oracle
Aligned guidance with humans in the loop: practitioner elders review answers, Indigenous-language access, the map as its grounding truth.
Aligning three intelligences
Natural
The living systems that already regulate climate — the first intelligence, our first teacher, and the final metric of success.
Human
Elders, Indigenous knowledge-keepers, field scientists, restorers — lived knowledge in hundreds of languages, most of it never written down.
Artificial
Here, AI may lead: a tool for making planetary knowledge legible and for aligning machine intelligence with living systems rather than against them.
