Cadasta partners with local organizations, governments, and communities across the globe to secure land and resource rights. Explore the map to see where our partnerships are creating lasting impact.
Our work is not just about hectares and households, it’s about lasting change.
Over 1 billion people live in fear of losing their homes, farms, and forests because they don’t have legal proof that the land is theirs. Without land rights, families earn less, go hungry more often, and are hit harder by climate and environmental damage.
The truth is simple: the people closest to the land are the ones who know best how to protect and sustain it. Yet too often, they lack the partnerships, tools, and trusted information needed to document and defend their rights.
That’s why we exist. Cadasta equips people to map and secure land rights, providing technology, training, and data that unlock opportunity, strengthen resilience, and protect ecosystems.
