How It Works
Uploading sites in bulk is pretty straightforward. Send us your files at support@restor.eco, we'll process them, and then work with you to get all the necessary information filled out before uploading everything to your account.
The Process
1. File Submission
First, send us your files so we can take a look and give you an estimate of how long processing and uploading will take.
We accept these file formats:
Shapefile
KML/KMZ
GeoJSON
If possible, include site names in your files - it makes things easier to reference later on.
2. Processing
After we receive your files, we'll process the data and create a spreadsheet that looks something like this one. This spreadsheet will have all the fields you need for your sites.
3. Upload
We'll send the spreadsheet back to you to fill out. You can either:
Fill it out yourself and send it back, or
Give us the information and we'll fill it out for you
Note: If your organization has GIS expertise, you can actually include all the required information in the attribute table of your files, and we'll upload the sites directly with that data.
What Information You'll Need
Here are the mandatory fields we need for each site:
Name - What you call the site
Site Type - The type of site it is
Site Visibility - Whether it's public or private
Intervention Start Year - When you started restoration work
Intervention Type - What kind of restoration you're doing
Goals - What you're trying to achieve
Support Sought - What kind of help you need
You can find the complete list of site metadata fields here.
