Proof of Conservation

Proof of Conservation (PoC) is the structured evidentiary process used to demonstrate that an identifiable conservation act produced or preserved a measurable conservation outcome relative to a valid baseline and counterfactual.

Core elements

• Identifiable conservation subject
• Cognisable conservation act
• Valid baseline and counterfactual
• Completed post-impact outcome
• Causal connection and measurable yield
• Additionality or material difference
• Lawful attribution and no double registration
• Independent validation and registrar act

Language discipline

The platform distinguishes forecast, expected, modelled, observed, measured, validated, and registered impact. Only a registrar determination creates a registered Negatrope.
