Documenting forest and indigenous land with partners at Cool Earth in India

Defending Indigenous Communities in the Amazon

Cool Earth | Peru
Cadasta and Cool Earth are working to build and deploy the Rainforest Labs, a bespoke software solution that puts land-use data into the hands of the Indigenous communities that need it most. Each Rainforest Lab equips communities with essential resources like computers, tablets, wifi, digital devices, solar energy, and a base of operations. For Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities to have control over their futures, access to real-time data about their lands is vital. Rainforest Labs bridges a crucial information gap by coupling Indigenous knowledge with tools, training, and technology to effectively manage and protect their Amazonian territories.
