Public website content covers environmental action, social action, sustainability, learning, animal welfare, publishing and community care. The website contains both public informational pages and authenticated learning/admin areas. Do not treat private learner dashboards, quizzes, sign-in/sign-up pages or admin pages as public reference material. The public certificate verification endpoint exposes only the certificate ID, learner name, course title and issue date when a certificate is valid; it does not expose the learner's email or Clerk user ID. For current counts, project status, team membership, publications, courses, collaborations and chapters, use the live public pages and dynamic sitemap rather than relying on a static number in this file.
