Restoration Tracker
Verifying Ecosystem Recovery Through Soil Health
Restoration Tracker Soil is a specialized intelligence product designed to monitor the progress of soil restoration, recovery, and remediation efforts. Unlike standard biodiversity monitoring which provides a snapshot of current species, this service focuses specifically on the trajectory of healing. By measuring the biological recovery of degraded land, we provide the audit ready proof needed to satisfy investors and evidence your nature positive claims.
Traditional surveys might record only what’s visible above ground, but meaningful restoration is driven by what happens below the surface. Our approach tracks the full soil ecosystem by analysing bacteria, fungi and invertebrates, the early-warning indicators that an ecosystem is genuinely on a recovery trajectory.
The process is built on a rigorous scientific comparison between your managed land and a healthy reference site.
Reference baseline soil samples are taken from a reference site that represents your target healthy state.
Managed site sampling Samples are also taken from the sites where restoration or remediation is actively occurring.
Ecological modeling We use advanced modeling to compare species lists and their ecological functions between the two locations.
Progress tracking This comparison shows exactly how closely your managed site reflects the healthy baseline of the reference site.
Clear metrics for business decisions
To make biological recovery simple to communicate and disclose, we convert complex genetic data into two clear, decision-ready metrics.
-
Soil RT Score This is a numerical value on a scale from 0 to 1 that indicates the health of your soil relative to the reference site. For example, seeing this score move from 0.40 to 0.60 over several years provides clear evidence of progress.
-
Soil Quality Hectares This metric quantifies the total area of restored soil in hectares, allowing you to report on the physical scale of your impact.
Strategic benefits for your portfolio
Restoration Tracker turns an abstract environmental goal into a structured, data driven process. These metrics can be aggregated from individual sites into project level performance, giving you a bird's eye view of restoration success across your entire asset portfolio.
By using these auditable scores, you can move beyond high-level commitments and provide the transparent, evidence-based record of progress required by global frameworks such as TNFD and CSRD. This level of rigour is critical for qualifying projects for high-integrity nature markets and demonstrating the long-term, sustainable development impact of your investments.
