Give nature backto the planet.
Protect real pieces of nature,
one square metre at a time.

Not every piece of land
needs a purpose.
Sometimes leaving it alone
is the purpose.
Across the world, natural land is valued for what can be built, harvested or extracted from it.
Lungs of Earth begins with a different idea: acquire natural land and give it the chance to remain natural.
No construction.No harvest.Just nature.
What does
1 m² look like?
About the size of a doormat. Then ten of them. Then a small garden. Then something that starts to feel like a place.

A square metre means very little
without knowing where it is.
The land is real.
So should the map be.

Example — not an issued certificate
Your piece doesn’t end
with a certificate.
Follow the wider landscape your contribution belongs to.
A land page follows the project area as a whole. It does not mark an individual square metre on the ground.

Give something
that doesn’t become
more stuff.
Create a nature contribution for employees, clients, events or milestones — connected to measurable land rather than another physical gift.

Placeholder · HumanIt started with
a piece of land.
Lungs of Earth didn't start in a boardroom.
It started with a simple opportunity: a piece of natural land that could be bought.
There were plenty of things that could be done with it. The land could be changed, used or developed.
But there was another option.
Nothing.
Leave the trees where they are. Let water continue to find its own way. Let the landscape remain a landscape.
That raised a bigger question:
What if protecting land could become as normal as developing it?
Lungs of Earth grew from that question.
[Founder name]
The beginning
A first piece of land creates a bigger question.
Lungs of Earth
A model begins to take shape.
The first community
People and organisations are invited to participate.
More land
The ambition: make keeping nature wild economically possible in more places.
Don’t just trust us.
Look.
Beautiful photography is not proof. Before participation opens, Lungs of Earth should make the structure behind every project understandable.
Explore transparencyDetails 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.
The land is
the proof.
Placeholders mark where photographs from the land will be published — each with its project, date and field note.
