GeoStory Camps

Putting the tools in the hands of future Indigenous leaders

Untitled design-9.png

In direct collaboration with Indigenous communities around the world, People’s Planet Project implements GeoStory Camps - a long-term, collective impact program delivered in 3 to 5 stages. Through these camps, Indigenous participants engage in intensive workshops on filmmaking and geospatial mapping, and are equipped to use these tools to create evidence-based stories for advocacy campaigns and legal cases aimed at protecting the world’s forests.

 

We work in high-biodiversity impact regions, including the Amazon, the Leuser ecosystem, and the Coral Triangle. Through this approach, video technology and geospatial data are combined as a powerful medium to monitor and expose environmental crimes in real-time.

Same Initiative, Different Phases

A tailored and co-designed curriculum teaches filmmaking and geospatial mapping basics.

 

It is co-designed with deep consultation with community members and relevant experts, and is implemented in the local language.

 

Afterwards, an Indigenous-led collective impact working group is built and supported to begin advancing and utilising the skills learnt in the initial workshop.
