Metric tracking Successful Tree Plantings
This is a feature request to track the number of successfully planted trees, in addition to the number of trees planted.
Problem
Unfortunately, it's not very helpful to plant 1,000 trees if 999 of them die.
I've worked on afforestation projects planting trees in formerly-deforested, aired climate. Initially planting the tree does require a lot of work, but an equal amount of work is required over the next few years to ensure that the trees actually survive.
Solution
A critical metric for continuous-reforstation
is to track the success rate of trees planted.
To start, we should track how many of the trees that were planted died after 1 year. If the afforestation org responsible does not supply this data, it's a red flag and they should not be used.
