About RestitutionEarth

Founded in 2019 by a coalition of environmental lawyers, economists, and activists, RestitutionEarth developed the world's first quantitative framework for assigning monetary restitution to environmental and humanitarian infractions.

We operate at the intersection of international law, environmental science, and grassroots advocacy — giving communities the legal tools and financial backing to demand what is owed to them.

The Process

How Restitution Works

A rigorous, transparent, four-stage process from infraction to restitution — backed by science and enforced through law.

01

Infraction Documentation

Our team of environmental scientists and legal experts document and verify every infraction using satellite data, field reports, and forensic analysis.

02

Restitution Quantification

Using our peer-reviewed methodology, we assign a precise dollar amount to each infraction — covering ecological damage, human health impact, and long-term recovery costs.

03

Legal Filing & Arbitration

Our network of 400+ international lawyers files restitution claims through international arbitration bodies, national courts, and regulatory agencies.

04

Restitution Distribution

Secured funds flow directly to affected communities, ecological restoration projects, and preventive infrastructure — verified through our public ledger.

05

Wellness & Recovery Funding

A dedicated portion of all reparation settlements funds sober living facilities, rehabilitation centers, and community wellness programs — rebuilding lives alongside ecosystems.
