Why request rather than download

Because most of these are internal documents that have not been formatted to be readable by a screen reader, and publishing an inaccessible PDF is a way of appearing transparent without being so. Ask and we will send what exists today.

What is actually in the datasets

So you can tell before requesting whether a file answers your question.
DatasetFieldsCoverageKnown limits
Water quality readingsPoint ID, coordinates, date, turbidity, and the accompanying field observations6 points, quarterly, 2023 to presentQuarterly sampling is too coarse to separate a restoration effect from seasonal variation
Planting and survival recordsSite, date, species, count planted, count surviving at 6 and 12 monthsAll sites, 2022 to presentThe 2022 cohort has incomplete six-month returns; failed sites remain in the denominator
Fixed-point photographyPoint ID, coordinates, bearing, date6 points, quarterlyFrames occasionally shift a little between visits; the bearing is recorded so you can tell
Site boundariesSite ID, geometry, status, date establishedActive sitesBoundaries are as surveyed on foot, not surveyed instrumentally
Buffer agreementsDistrict, strip width, species mix, year, outcomeAnonymised onlyHousehold identifiers are removed; do not attempt to re-identify

Licence and citation

The text and data on this site are published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. You may reuse them, including commercially, as long as you say where they came from. Photographs taken by other people carry their own licences, which travel with the image and are named beside it.

Cite the dataset by name, the organisation, and the date you received it, because these files are revised as new counts come in and a citation without a date cannot be reproduced. If you would like a fixed, dated snapshot to cite against, say so and we will send one and keep a copy of exactly what you were sent.

About these files

Why is there no download button?

Because most of these documents were written for internal use and have not been formatted to be readable by a screen reader. Publishing an inaccessible PDF is a way of appearing transparent without being so. The datasets are plain CSV and go out by email the same working day.

Will you send data that makes you look bad?

Yes. The failed cohort at Nyakayojo is in the planting records, the readings that got worse are in the water quality series, and neither has been removed.

Can I get the raw field notes?

Not in full, because they contain household names and unrecorded conversations. Specific extracts, anonymised, are usually possible.

Do I have to say what I want it for?

A sentence is enough, and it is not a condition. It helps us send the right file and tell you what is wrong with it.
