Integrating Geospatial Analysis with Indigenous Knowledge Systems The projects’ overall goal is to foster Indigenous Peoples’ ownership and cultural appropriateness of geographic and information technology to become a tool to better govern their territories and protect their lands and forests from threats to biodiversity in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.Funding will be provided for Indigenous capacity building through training tailored in geospatial data collection and in the use of high resolution imagery, in order to monitor sustainable management in indigenous territories, or alternately, deforestation and forest degradation, by partnering with local-based civil society organizations to provide practical tools and resources to effectively approach territorial governance.
