Extinction-risk units, with the assumptions in your hands
STAR measures extinction-risk-reduction opportunity. We compute a proxy from Map of Life data. Move the sliders to see sensitivity.
STAR-lite = abatement × Σ over threatened species [ weightNT=1…CR=4 × min(1, 314 km² × f / global habitat km²) × 100 ]
How much land the project influences. Default 10 km is a modelling choice.
100% is an upper bound. Real projects deliver a slice.
Forest-dependent species scaled by tree cover. Reptiles excluded (official STAR).

197 projects shown, sorted by per $1k. Funding = crowdfund + estimated quadratic match. Unlit cells mean no data (one ocean-based project has no terrestrial rasters; three sites could not be geocoded to a region).
Methods
- Funding
- Per-project totals and donor counts from Ma Earth's public project pages (donationSummary), July 2026 close. Matching figures are page-embedded estimates, not final disbursements. 4 of 201 funded projects (~$8k) had renamed pages and are missing.
- Self-reported claims
- Extracted from project descriptions by 8 parallel LLM agents with a published prompt; only stated numbers, acres converted to hectares, lower bounds of ranges, achieved/planned basis flagged. Spot-checked, not exhaustively verified.
- GBIF density
- api.gbif.org occurrence counts in a 0.25° cell per site. Measures sampling effort, not biodiversity; its correct use is the gap.
- BII
- Impact Observatory Biodiversity Intactness (io-biodiversity, Microsoft Planetary Computer), 100 m, 2020, sampled at the site point. Compare within portfolio; products differ in baseline.
- Forest cover & loss
- Hansen Global Forest Change 2024 v1.12, ~10 km window per site: mean tree cover 2000, share of cells with loss 2001 to 24 and 2020 to 24. Includes plantation harvest.
- Threatened species & habitat
- Map of Life: species lists per admin-1 region (Red List categories), per-species habitat preferences, elevation limits, and global habitat areas (sps_area_km2). Non-commercial research use.
- STAR-lite
- Formula from Mair et al. 2021 (Nature Ecology & Evolution) with MoL habitat areas replacing IUCN Area-of-Habitat. Presence = range bounds + elevation match. Full-abatement ceiling; no threat-apportioning. Not comparable to the licensed IUCN STAR layer.
- Reproducibility
- Every raw response, intermediate file, script, and the extraction prompt live in the maearth-analysis dataset; this page renders a static export of it and recomputes STAR-lite client-side.
Where the money went, not what the money did. STAR-lite is a proxy and full-abatement ceiling, not the licensed IUCN STAR layer or a promised outcome.
