Data transparency: Site registry data (name, area, cost, FY) is from the National CAMPA master list (MoEFCC/NAEB PMU) and shared documents (2026_05_19_data & 2026_05_18_docx). Environmental indicators are modelled/literature-derived benchmarks calibrated per site climate zone — not yet field-measured. Weather data is live from Open-Meteo API. Replace modelled values with your field CVM/WHO-5/NDVI measurements as they come in.
