This is a community leader explaining the map which shows the various types of forest as well as grazing, cropland, and houses (the white triangles). This community has organized itself, produced this map and more formal digital maps to help themselves better manage their forest as well as make their case to authorities that they can care for the environment and feed themselves at the same time. Our partner organization here has worked with this community to help them achieve these goals. This particular map is mainly an education tool for the community itself, to help everyone understand what parts of the forest are for what type of use or protection.
