Archaeological sites and nature go hand in hand, protecting one is protecting the other.

Indigenous April

Maps help recognize rights, and protect ecosystems.

Mapping helps to:

• Protect cultural diversity
• Recognize historical rights
• Strengthen demarcation processes
• Preserve biodiversity and threatened ecosystems
