OUR WORK
Biocultural Monitoring
Arial view of two village sites | Africa | David Rothschild
In 2024, our partners—Conservation Metrics, Terras App
Solutions, and Awana Digital (formerly Digital Democracy)
—significantly enhanced technology for Indigenous Peoples
to collect and visualize monitoring data, providing guidance
and technical support to Indigenous Peoples’ organizations
in the Amazon, Pasifik, and Africa.
Conservation Metrics improved the functionality of Guardian Connector,
a platform to manage and visualize environmental and socio-economic
monitoring data in one location, owned entirely by Indigenous Peoples'
organizations. Additionally, Awana Digital launched CoMapeo, an app designed
for Indigenous Peoples to collect territorial data, and the three organizations
integrated satellite imagery from CoMapeo into the alert system, strengthening
the resources available for communities to respond to threats in their territories.
