A Scientific Approach

Guardians of Earth is dedicated to scientific enquiry, discovery and verification in all forms, combining institutional science, indigenous science systems and broader community science. We favour:

Certified ecologists, local elders & proven expertise have a higher weight
On-ground human verification weighs higher than remote sensing data
Blind peer review and well-designed "expertise engines" that seek to eliminate bias will weigh higher than open social networks
Transparent, public data that is "cheat-proofed" weighs higher than self-reported data that has no verifiability
Staying abreast with the latest global research, standards and frameworks
Unique forms of data that demonstrate a relationship to place (e.g. cultural knowledge, rituals, history, temporal information).
