Trust should not depend
on a beautiful website.
Here is where we document what Lungs of Earth is, what participation means, and how each project is structured.
- In preparation — public participation not open
- Not yet published
01
Land
The most basic question deserves the most concrete answer.
- Where is it?
- How large is it?
- Who owns it?
- Can records be inspected?
- To be published

02
Protection
A promise to leave land alone is only as strong as the structure behind it.
- What mechanism keeps it natural?
- For how long?
- What could change?
03
Your contribution
Before anyone contributes, it should be completely clear what they are taking part in.
- What does €5 / m² represent?
- Is this ownership?
- Is it sponsorship?
- Is it allocation?
- What rights does a participant receive?
04
Money
Where each euro goes will be published as a breakdown before participation opens. Until the economics are final, no percentages are shown.
- Land acquisition
- Protection & management
- Administration
- Operations
- Future land
05
Claims
We do not automatically claim:
- Carbon offsets
- Carbon neutrality
- Biodiversity credits
- Individual legal land ownership
- Permanent protection
…unless and until the evidence and legal structure support those claims.
06
Documents
Source documents will be available here. None are published yet — nothing below is a placeholder file.
- Land title
- Map
- Project agreement
- Protection documentation
- Annual update
The sceptical
questions.
They are the right ones to ask.
Details for this project are being documented and will be published before public participation opens.
Each project page will show the region, the total area and a map. Precise boundaries will be shown once they are confirmed by survey or land records — never approximated.
Before participation opens, this section will identify the legal landowner, the relevant land title or registration structure, and the relationship between that entity and Lungs of Earth.
Details for this project are being documented and will be published before public participation opens.
A plain-language description of what a contribution is — and is not — together with the rights, if any, that come with it.
This will be answered precisely once the legal structure is final. Until then, we do not describe contributions as ownership of land.
How square metres relate to the wider project area, and what a certificate does and does not signify.
Details for this project are being documented and will be published before public participation opens.
How allocations are recorded, how the total allocated area is capped by the documented project area, and how that record can be checked.
Details for this project are being documented and will be published before public participation opens.
The specific instrument used (for example a title restriction, agreement or designation), who holds it, and for how long it applies.
We won't answer this with a promise before the protection structure is documented.
What the protection structure allows and prevents, and what would happen to the land if Lungs of Earth ceased to exist.
Details for this project are being documented and will be published before public participation opens.
A breakdown across land acquisition, protection and management, administration, operations and future land.
Details for this project are being documented and will be published before public participation opens.
Who visits the land, how often, how observations are recorded, and whether any independent party reviews them.
Not known yet. This depends on the legal structure and on where you live, and will be confirmed with advisers before participation opens.
No. Lungs of Earth does not claim carbon offsets, carbon neutrality or biodiversity credits. Any such claim would require evidence and certification we do not have.
When these pages are complete,
participation opens.
