Enabling transparency, ethics, and sustainability in mining

Emstree maintains a public environmental record linking mine profiles, recorded change, operator context, and restoration commitments.

Responsible operators can provide context, evidence, and restoration commitments to the public record.

Mining and landscape indicators for Zimbabwe

Server-side metrics from Supabase Postgres/PostGIS. Proximity counts are calculated with PostGIS at 200 metres. Forest-cleared estimates use detected-site change area scaled by vegetation-loss score. Forest-restored estimates use revegetating site contractions.

How the platform holds together

Observation, context, and restoration in one record

Emstree is built around the mine profile. The map records landscape change over time, operators can submit context and evidence alongside that record, and restoration remains connected to the same system.

Mine Impact Map

The map is the centre of Emstree. It maintains a public environmental record linking mine locations, operational boundaries, observed change, operator context, and official notices.

View Mine Impact Map

Mine Profiles

Each mine profile functions as a site-level record, bringing together operating context, observation history, imagery review, notices, and operator submissions over time.

Browse mine profiles

Operator Participation

Operators may claim their profiles, attach supporting evidence, respond to observations, and submit reporting alongside the record. The record itself remains public and independent.

Restoration Pathways

Restoration commitments belong alongside operational impact. Tree planting and recovery programmes remain connected to the same public system that records landscape change.
