POPtech is a multi-purpose dMRV tool that provides invaluable 'Proof of Planting' alongside important metadata, including classification of species, native/non-native, IUCN red list status, organic carbon potential, planting date, planter profile, community or organisation, location and costs. It's suited to the following tree planting approaches: > Reforestation > Afforestation > Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) > Agroforestry > Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) POPtech can also be used to measure, report and verify the presence of naturally occurring species of flora & fauna.

Yes we developed POPtech for everyone to use, including the field app for capturing trees and back-end for independent verification (administrators only).

The short answer is 10-40kg on avg. per year, depending on the tree species, overall health and type of ecosystem. *Read our scientific answer HERE

Natural climate solutions (NCS) are a valuable way to tackle our climate emergency. Scientists estimate that NCS could contribute 40% of the CO2 mitigation we need to achieve by 2030 and reforestation, a key part of this solution; could represent up to one-third of all climate mitigation, helping us limit warming to 1.5 degrees.

POPtech is an abbreviation for Proof of Planting Technology, a ground-monitoring system we created on a public blockchain to measure, report and verify global tree planting.

Combining advanced digital technologies, such as satellite and remote sensing with ground-based monitoring, provides a deeper understanding of actual impacts on the ground. Therefore dMRV represents a significant leap forward in efficiency and transparency of climate mitigation efforts.

Survival rates refer to trees surpassing infancy and continuing on their path to maturity. Even in pristine forests, young trees will die due to predation by insects and animals, a lack of sunlight from the forest canopy or insufficient water and nutrients in the soil.

Using POPtech our purpose developed dMRV tool, tree planting can be: > Measured with extensive data collection, including classification of species, native/non-native, IUCN red list status, organic carbon potential, planting date, planter profile, community or organisation, location and costs. > Reported as an immutable record (NFT) and published on publicly accessible decentralised servers & platforms. > Verified against robust and fair standards ensuring tree planting projects meet their social, environmental and climate objectives.

Despite the widely understood long-term benefits of native forests, nearly 50% of all trees planted are same age, single-species plantation forests with a lifespan of just 10-20 years. This means half of reforestation pledges around the world, are in-fact commercially managed, and the trees will be harvested for paper, charcoal, timber and even wood pellets for the growing biomass energy sector. As a result, much of tree planting today is categorically failing to deliver positive outcomes for climate, biodiversity and indigenous peoples & local communities. In response to these findings in the Global Forest Resources Assessment (2020) Replant World has developed a ground-monitoring system which uses a public blockchain called POPtech. Its purpose is to provide direct funding for indigenous and local people, and increase the efficiency of tree planting projects through increased transparency.

Replant World focuses on mangrove and rainforests, which support significant amounts of the world's marine and terrestrial biodiversity. These precious ecosystems are also our most powerful carbon sinks and provide a livelihood for many well preserved indigenous cultures. Located in the 'tropical band', the 3 largest remaining rainforests can be found in Latin America, Borneo Mekong Basin and the Congo Basin.

dMRV is a process to digitally measure, report and verify impact.
