Indicators and Goals: These are predefined markers and milestones to guide and measure progress. For instance, the Sharamentsa project uses indicators related to the health of the Jaguar population, the integrity of their habitat, and the broader ecosystem.

Monitoring and Reporting:
* Local Monitoring: Indigenous communities use "Amazank teams" to register land use changes, tracking alterations to the ecosystem with photos and comments.
* Remote Sensing: Satellite images monitored for land-use changes, with local teams verifying these changes.
* Technology Use: Smartphones and other devices are used to capture data on land use changes and store them with geographic coordinates.
* Quarterly Reporting: Data from satellite alerts and local observations are compiled into quarterly reports that provide a comprehensive view of the forest's health and the community dynamics.

Project Costs and Management:
* Costs are tracked and managed to ensure efficient use of resources, including expenses for community education, health, sustainable production, and biodiversity monitoring equipment.
* The project cost is analyzed to maintain transparency and accountability in funding allocation and expenditure.

Credit Issuance:
* The project uses a unique credit issuance system where credits are issued based on detailed criteria such as documented proof of Jaguar presence, habitat quality, and effective conservation management practices.
* This system helps to quantify the ecological benefits and conservation efforts, providing a measurable impact that can be reported to stakeholders and used in impact reports.
