Une restauration visible, et mesurée.

La restauration est promise sur des millions d’hectares, mais peu de sites mesurent si les terres se rétablissent vraiment. Capteurs de sol et de météo, caméras fixes et relevés par drone montrent l’humidité du sol qui remonte, les plantes qui s’installent et le couvert qui revient, au regard de l’état initial et des objectifs fixés par les financeurs.

   Promises measured in hectares

   Restoration is promised on millions of hectares, yet few sites measure whether degraded land is actually recovering. Plantings die in the first dry season, grazing and fire undo the work, and funders are asked to trust claims. Restoration standards ask for baselines, targets and monitoring.

2. Ce qui est mesuré

   Soil, plants and weather

   Soil probes in restored and reference plots measure moisture and temperature, a weather station measures rain, fixed cameras watch key plantings daily, and seasonal drone surveys map cover and plant survival across the whole site. Soil samples every few years measure organic carbon.

3. Le nœud de base

   Against the baseline

   The node tracks soil moisture in restored plots against reference plots, flags dry spells that threaten new plantings, processes drone surveys into cover and survival maps, and compares every indicator with the baseline and the targets the funder set, season after season.

4. Radio et liaisons

   Plots to gateway to programme

   Plots across the site reach the gateway over a long-range, low-power link. The node sends data and uploads drone surveys over cellular, and the programme sees every site on one view with its baseline and targets. Plot sensors run on batteries and need little attention.

   LoRaWAN · Réseau mobile public

5. Comment ça marche

   From a dry spell to saved seedlings

   Six weeks after planting, rain fails. Soil moisture in the restored plots falls below the threshold set for seedlings, and the node alerts the field team. They water the youngest plantings; the next drone survey shows survival holding, and the funder sees it in the seasonal report.

6. De la commande à l’exploitation · Commande

   Scope the targets

   The scope reads the restoration plan, its targets and funder requirements, the site’s degradation, and reference sites. Nexus Observatory Inc. returns the plot and survey design, indicators, reporting and a price per site and per year, kept running beyond the planting phase.

7. De la commande à l’exploitation · Relevé

   Survey the baseline

   Crews map the site, lay out restored and reference plots, fly a baseline drone survey, take soil samples and choose gateway and camera positions. The baseline is recorded before any work so change can be shown. Every finding is kept with the site record for the crews who follow.

8. De la commande à l’exploitation · Autorisations

   Land, communities and flights

   Land owners and communities agree to plots and access, grazing arrangements are recorded, and drone flights follow aviation rules and privacy rules for people and homes. Every agreement is kept with the site record. Approvals are tracked site by site, so nothing waits unseen.

9. De la commande à l’exploitation · Fabrication

   Build and test

   Soil probes, weather sensors and cameras are tested, radios paired, the gateway and node configured with the site’s baseline and targets and enrolled with their identities. The drone survey kit is tested with the processing workflow. Test results travel with the kit to the site.

10. De la commande à l’exploitation · Installation

    Install plots and cameras

    Crews install soil probes and weather sensors in restored and reference plots, set fixed cameras over key plantings, raise the gateway and connect solar power. Every plot is marked, surveyed and photographed. The site record is updated before the crew leaves.

11. De la commande à l’exploitation · Mise en service

    Commission with the first survey

    Chaque nœud prouve son identité. Soil readings are checked against samples, weather against a reference, and the first drone survey is processed and checked against field counts of plant survival. Indicators start from the baseline. Results are signed and kept with the site record.

12. De la commande à l’exploitation · Exploitation

    Show recovery

    Managers and funders see soil moisture, plant survival and cover against the baseline and targets. Dry spells trigger watering or replanting before plantings die, and every season’s survey adds to the evidence. Reports for owners and funders come from the same record.

13. De la commande à l’exploitation · Maintenance

    Survey every season

    Drone surveys are flown each season, soil is resampled every few years, sensors are checked and batteries swapped, and software updates roll out in rings. Monitoring continues beyond planting so long-term recovery is on record. Spares and procedures travel with the crews.

14. Produits de données

    For managers, funders and agencies

    Restoration managers receive plant survival and cover maps; funders and programmes receive indicator reports against targets; field teams receive dry spell alerts; agencies receive land degradation indicators for national reporting, each tied to the site, the plot and the season of the survey.

15. Preuves

    Recovery you can audit

    Monitoring follows the international restoration principles and standards, indicators follow the land degradation neutrality framework, and results support the restoration target of the global biodiversity framework. Every indicator keeps its baseline, plot and survey record, so funders can audit the claim.

01Le lieu et ses dangers

Où il fonctionne, et ce qui peut mal tourner.

Operating contextRestoration practice has international principles and standards that ask for baselines, targets and monitoring; land degradation neutrality is assessed with indicators of land cover, productivity and soil carbon; and the global biodiversity framework includes a target for restoring degraded ecosystems.

Dangers

• Plantings that die in the first dry season
• Soil that keeps eroding after planting
• Grazing and fire that undo the work
• Claims of hectares restored without evidence
• Monitoring that stops when funding ends

Réseau mobile public

The node sends data, and drone surveys are uploaded, over cellular.

Edge computeThe node tracks soil moisture against the reference plots, flags dry spells that threaten new plantings, processes drone surveys into cover and survival maps and compares every indicator with the baseline and targets.

PowerPlot sensors run on batteries; the gateway and node run on solar; drones are charged at the site office.
