More about the conference

Why OpenForests joins the conference?

We join the conference, because we see the importance to have land tenure rights in place which especiall protect the rights of small-holders and forest dependent communities.

With the explorer.land we want to provide a mapping tool to transparently communicate land tenure and land use.

By providing interactive and easy to use mapping tools, we want to strengthen land-use rights by making traditional as well as legal land demarcations visible.
