A collaboration between the Crowther Lab, ETH Zurich and Google, Restor is a mapping platform for the fast-growing global restoration movement.
Traditionally, detailed scientific data and resources have been difficult or expensive to access, with information spread across a mix of outlets and platforms. Restor plans to reinvent this space by combining the latest scientific data collected from ground data points with artificial intelligence and machine learning, connecting people to scientific data, supply chains, funding, and each other, with the aim of increasing the impact, scale, and sustainability of restoration efforts around the world.
