Restoring Eden integrates open geospatial data, regenerative ecology, and collaborative software to map, understand, and heal the land, one bioregion at a time.
Restoring Eden is a software, education, and community development project. At its core is a multi-domain geospatial knowledge base, drawing from open data sources across ecology, hydrology, climate, soil science, and human geography, presented through two interconnected tools.
An interactive globe and public encyclopedia. Browse layered ecological and geographic data for any location on Earth.
A simulation environment for ecological planning. Model terrain, water flow, and planting strategies for real sites.
A development ecosystem for coders, curriculum designers, ecologists, and data contributors building together.
The software is a means to an end. Restoring Eden exists to advance a broader mission: helping individuals, communities, and organizations understand the land they inhabit and develop the knowledge and tools to restore it.
This work unfolds across three domains: software and data development, freely available ecological curriculum, and a professional network of trained permaculture designers and land stewards. Together, these form a pipeline from knowledge to action.
