Apoyando el uso de tecnologías geoespaciales por parte de los pueblos indígenas en la defensa de la naturaleza y tradiciones

¿Por qué asistir a esta sesión?
During this campus session, we will explore how Indigenous peoples and local communities use geospatial technologies for mapping and monitoring and concurrently strengthen community responses to threats to nature and their rights.
HideDescripción
Evidence from across the globe shows that Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) are effective stewards of nature, yet they are constantly faced with threats from outside interests and their voices are often marginalized in decision-making processes. IPLCs frequently lack consistent and timely access to the data, technologies, and resources necessary to effectively gain official recognition of and uphold their land rights and monitor new threats to nature and their livelihoods. In this campus session, speakers will share their experiences from applying and designing innovative geospatial technologies and learn about the current suite of geospatial tools designed to increase access and use by diverse conservation actors. One key outcome of this session will be an action plan to improve knowledge exchange of ideas, capacity-building resources, and accessible geospatial technologies appropriate for Indigenous-led mapping and monitoring.
