Deep Pages — Stories · ERA² & the Oracle · Engage · Donate

Build sheets for the storytelling layer, the Orbit-B page, community, and the two-door Donate page, plus the landing wrappers.

P5 Stories / Currents — /stories

Purpose: the storytelling pillar made canonical — blog + newsletter archive in one place, feeding every channel. Orbit A drifting toward B at depth.

Copy

verbatim Post cards: reuse the five homepage Currents posts (titles, dates, excerpts, thumbnails) as the seed grid; featured = "A New Chapter for the EcoRestoration Alliance". adapted Subscribe card: "One email a month: the science, the hubs, the people — and what's working. The Big Map is not a wish list. It is a census of what is already working." verbatim Words-to-Live-By band seeds: the signature lines from Part 1 §04 (rotate via simple JS, no autoplay faster than 8s, pause on hover).

Rationale

The newsletter is live (two editions, third imminent) — the archive makes the site its canonical home and turns every issue into a durable, linkable asset. The quote band gives the brand voice a permanent stage.

P6 ERA² & the Oracle — /era2

Purpose: the Orbit-B page. For Templeton-style funders and the philosophically curious. Iron rule: the Big Map is real today; the Oracle is the road ahead — trajectory, never vaporware.

draft Hero:

ERA² — the Ecosystem Restoration Atlas, and what it is becoming

Four thousand four hundred restoration projects, mapped and made legible — a census of what is already working, curated from across the global field. That exists today. What it is becoming is larger: an Oracle of EcoRestoration — a place where the world's restoration knowledge, Indigenous wisdom, and machine intelligence answer one question together: "Now what?"

"A way for planetary intelligence to know itself." — after Carl Sagan

draft Roadmap (the honesty device):Live now — the Big Map: explore 4,400+ projects by place, biome, method. ② In development — ask-the-map: natural-language search over the atlas. ③ The Oracle — aligned guidance with humans in the loop: practitioner "elders" review answers; Indigenous-language access; the map as its grounding truth. Label each stage visually (live / building / horizon). Three intelligences: expand the About blocks; here AI may lead. Support: "This is the work our science-of-purpose funders make possible. If aligning intelligences for planetary healing is your question too — talk to us."

Rationale

Funders reward roadmaps and punish vaporware: the three-stage device lets Jon's full vision breathe while every claim stays checkable. The page is one click from About and Stories but absent from the homepage hero — progressive disclosure as designed.

P7 Engage — /engage

Purpose: turn interest into membership and attendance. Orbit A, community door.

draft Hero: "Six hundred members on six continents — scientists, stewards, storytellers. The alliance doubles every year, and the door is open." Town Halls block uses the verbatim model line: "Watch for free. Join to ask questions." (recordings on YouTube; members get the room). Directory/map: link to the existing live tools — do not rebuild them.

Rationale

Membership is ERA's compounding asset; the open-but-belonging model (free viewing, member participation) is already proven in their town halls — the page just makes it legible.

P8 Donate — /donate (+ /fund, /sustain)

Purpose: the two doors, side by side, no confusion. This page closes warm leads and converts community — it does not try to cold-convert.

draft Door 1 — Fund a Leverage Point:

Fund a leverage point

ERA finds the places where focused restoration tips whole systems — then connects the science, the community, and the capital. Your gift funds that connective tissue: the CCQ science, the learning hubs in Panama and Uganda, the Big Map. We'd rather have one conversation than ten clicks: tell us what you care about, and we'll show you the leverage. [Start a conversation → named contact] · [Download: CCQ for Philanthropy / for Family Offices]

draft Door 2 — ERA Sustainer:

Become an ERA Sustainer

$5 a month keeps the Big Map alive. $10 helps a hub train its next cohort. Every sustainer is a signal that climate repair has a constituency. [$5 / $10 / $25 / other → payment link] · Cancel anytime.

Wrappers: /fund = Science-hero condensed + proof strip + Door 1 only (+ deck block varies by ?src). /sustain = Sustainer story + Door 2 only. Both reuse this page's components verbatim.

Rationale

Doors segment by capacity, not belief — so both orbits' visitors find their door here. Door 1 deliberately has no checkout: the evidence says major money arrives through conversations. Door 2 builds the recurring base no grant provides.
