Trees planted, verified and geolocated (count)
Definition
The number of tree individuals created by planting records at a site: each with a species or cultivar from the register, a planting position, a planting date and a photograph. An output: it says nothing about survival.
purpose
To count what the programme put in the ground, per site and stratum, as the denominator every later survival rate rests on.
rationale
The proposal requires complete records of species, location and GPS per tree; counting tree individuals rather than a reported total makes the count verifiable tree by tree.

Collections
- 2026 core indicator set: The fifteen indicators a 2026 project under the standard reports: the site preconditions and assessments, delivery and planting, education and care, and the survival family to T2. Every member is approved and served by an approved methodology whose records exist in the standard; the monthly and final reports are queries over approved claims at these indicators. Module indicators sit outside it.
