The solutions exist. The people doing the work exist. But the system to fund, verify and scale them does not.

The broken bridge

The money exists. The work exists. The bridge is broken.

What a frontline group faces today

  • Hire a verifier

    Costs thousands. Takes months.

  • Fill the forms

    Expert-level paperwork. Designed to exclude.

  • Wait anyway

    Money flows to big organisations instead.

The solution

Enter EarthCredits

A verified badge of impact built on AI and a credible registry: free, fast, and designed for frontline groups.

  • Verified

    As rigorous as any verification system, but free and fast. AI-assisted, community-curated, expert-confirmed.

  • Recognised

    A public badge of honour. EarthCredits tell the world: this group is real, this work is real, this impact is real.

  • Connected

    Linked to funders, companies, volunteers and supporters who want to help, and who can now find exactly who has earned it.

How it works

One app. On any phone.

For frontline groups, students, volunteers and verifiers.

  1. 1Log the work in the app: photos, location, data.
  2. 2gAIa checks the data. Community verifiers near the project weigh in. EarthTeam experts review.
  3. 3Verified impact is recorded on a credible registry: permanent, tamper-proof, transparent.
  4. 4The organisation earns EarthCredits (Bronze, Silver or Gold) based on verified impact.

  • Community verifiers

    Near and far

    A decentralised network of local actors and global experts who observe, comment and validate from near or far.

  • EarthTeam expert panel

    Field experts

    Field experts in wildlife protection, regenerative agriculture and habitat restoration review and confirm.

Result: a trusted, registry-recorded proof of impact that any funder can verify instantly.
