Read one land
Any parcel on Earth, in under a minute. A free reading joins the public record.
Your land changes when you are not there.
TERRA reads it and keeps a watch on it.
Draw the boundary and TERRA reads the land from orbit in under a minute: its ground, its water, its forest, what was cut and when. Keep the watch on and, the day a neighbour clears to the line, a fire starts or the river upstream runs brown, TERRA writes to you.
Drawing the land from its record
Santa Elena, Puntarenas, Costa Rica · 144.5 ha · read 16 October 2026
Drag to turn it. Each layer is read from the public record and drawn on the land's own terrain. The watch writes you the day a sign crosses its line.
01 · Holding land
See which land needs you this week.
Every property you hold on one board: its condition against untouched land of its kind, and the four signs that reach a land first. TERRA Watch writes the day one crosses its line. Only you see the board.
What you get
- Every land on one board
- A note the day a sign crosses its line
- Private: Dear Wise Earth opens it only if you say so

02 · Buying or selling
Know what the listing leaves out.
Read the parcel before you fly out to see it. Read it privately and the seller never learns you looked. Selling, the same reading, dated and signed, answers a buyer's questions before they ask them.
What you get
- A private reading the seller never sees
- The first move before you sign
- Selling: a dated, signed reading to show buyers
TrairãoPará, Brazil144.5 ha
What the reading adds
- Condition 100 of 100, close to land of its kind left alone
- Clearing: at the boundary, 1 ha inside since 2021
- Fire: high for the area
- Flood: high for the area
- Rain by 2050: −9.7%, the middle of the futures
The first move
Establish the legal status and boundaries before anything else, and confirm whether the clearing is authorised.
03 · Adding value
Build on the water and the climate it will have.
Value holds where the water holds. The reading traces the ground that feeds the land's water and the river it feeds below, then heat and rain by 2050, so what you build is sized to the land it will become.
What you get
- The water above it and below it
- Heat and rain by 2050, with the range
- Slopes, sun and streams on the map
- Above it1.5 km² drain to it: 100% forest, 0% of it lost since 2001
- Santa ElenaPuntarenas, Costa Rica
- Below it42 km of river depend on what leaves it

04 · Restoring
Know where to start bringing it back.
Where forest belongs and is missing, the reading shows how much and where. It counts the years the ground burned and puts the first moves in order. Dear Wise Earth brings in the specialist each move needs, at cost.
What you get
- Missing trees, on the map
- The years it burned since 2001
- The first moves, each with its check on site

Burned in 16 of the last 25 years, most recently 2025
The first moves
- 1Build a water budget sized to the projected dry spell, not the annual average.
- 2Design to the 2050 climate projections rather than today's conditions.
- 3Keep the fuel low along the boundary and roads on the side fire comes from (grazed, mown or green, never bare ground on a slope) and site water storage a tanker can reach before the first dry season.
05 · Compliance
Show the plot was not cleared after 2020.
The EU deforestation rule asks that coffee, cocoa, cattle, soy, palm oil, rubber and wood come from plots not cleared after 31 December 2020. Every reading sets the forest on that day against each year of loss since, then dates and signs the result.
What you get
- Forest on 31 December 2020, from the EU's reference map
- Each year of loss since, to the latest record
- Dated and signed, with the plot's boundary
