Dimensions and units
- Unit
- % of land owned, leased or managed — source-defined reporting unit
- Reporting basis
- Reporting period
Unit meaning: Values use % of land owned, leased or managed under the disclosed TNFD sector-guidance method, reporting period and boundary.

- Percentage
Formula
(Land owned, leased or managed that is formally designated for conservation or restoration / Total land owned, leased or managed) × 100Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. The source defines a reportable proportion with a stated population and outcome. It is not the same construct as conservation investment, restoration costs, project profiles, or habitat-area status metrics in the shortlist.
Variables

|---|---|---|---|
A_designated | Designated conservation or restoration land | Land owned, leased or managed that is formally designated for conservation or restoration purposes. | area |
A_total | Total land owned, leased or managed | Total land within the reporting organisation's owned, leased or managed land boundary. | area |

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

- Definition and evidence used to identify land as formally designated for conservation or restoration.
- Treatment of land that is both conserved and under restoration.
- Treatment of owned, leased and managed land.
- Reporting-period basis and any changes in the land boundary.
Record-specific limitations
- The metric captures formally designated land and does not by itself measure restoration condition, ecological outcome or conservation effectiveness.
- The result depends on the organisation's land inventory and the criteria used to identify formal designation.
- Land may be designated for conservation, restoration or both; the treatment of overlap should be disclosed.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
