How This Calculator Works

This tool estimates how lifestyle changes can contribute to habitat recovery for endangered species. The calculations are based on simplified publicly available conservation data.

Carbon footprint: widely-cited emission factors — ~0.75 t CO2 per short-haul flight, ~2.0 t CO2 per long-haul flight, ~0.15 kg CO2/km for car travel, and diet-based estimates from environmental research.
Habitat recovery: IUCN and conservation biology research suggests carbon reduction at national scale can slow deforestation and support habitat restoration. Simplified model: each 1% reduction in national emissions correlates with ~0.5% improvement in habitat protection effectiveness.
Recovery years are illustrative estimates. Real outcomes depend on poaching cessation, habitat protection enforcement, and political stability.
