Good to know

Who runs this page?

IdleForest runs this page and the free app. Mossy Earth runs its own website and membership.

Does this replace a Mossy Earth membership?

No. Membership is their own paid offering. IdleForest is a free app that adds passive support alongside it.

How does IdleForest generate conservation funding?

Spare bandwidth runs small public data tasks. Companies pay for them, and revenue from this page goes toward conservation work.
