Nature Repair Market (statutory)

Overview

The Nature Repair Market is a national voluntary scheme established under the Nature Repair Act 2023 that issues tradeable biodiversity certificates for projects that protect, manage, or restore native species and ecosystems in Australia. Projects must follow an approved method, and the first method covers replanting native forest and woodland ecosystems on cleared or degraded land to restore local native vegetation and ecological connectivity. A biodiversity certificate records the biodiversity outcomes of a registered project over its permanence period, and each certificate is unique to the project that generated it.

01 · Roles

The workflow as an explicit directed graph. In Graph each column is one role, so you can see who acts at each step; every node names the org.broadlistening.policy.block.* def it resolves to plus its input and output record. Data flow switches to a lineage view that makes explicit what data each node needs and makes, with dependency arcs tracing every record back to the node that produced it, including where the Darwin Core occurrence + measurement records feed in. Hover to trace, click to inspect; revise edges (dashed) send work back.

03 · Generated lexicon records

The records this methodology compiles to, ready to write to a PDS. The first tabs are the new policy engine records; the ★ claim.activity tab and those after it are reused ATProto Collective Funding Ecosystem records (org.hypercerts.*): the issued hypercert batch, its rights, an example verification attachment and a retirement receipt. The ◈ dwc.occurrence and ◈ dwc.measurement tabs are the Darwin Core field evidence the monitoring node writes; see the section below.
