Ed and Patrick Ribeiro discuss explorer.land, a map-based storytelling and transparency tool for nature-based projects related to climate change. The platform allows organizations to showcase their projects on a map, providing transparency and accountability to stakeholders. It offers features such as aerial imagery, thematic layers, and real-time data to help users understand the impact of these projects. The goal is to build trust and encourage financial support for organizations working on climate change initiatives. Patrick emphasizes the importance of addressing real challenges and needs on the ground rather than focusing solely on technology. He also highlights the role of storytelling in effectively communicating the impact of these projects.
