Overview of GEO Indigenous Alliance for Guardian Programs

Following up on our March webinar, the Indigenous Guardians Technical Support Team are pleased to host a guest presentation from the GEO Indigenous Alliance - a collective of people working globally to create new data and information tools that support Indigenous people.

The GEO Indigenous Alliance seeks to protect and sustain Indigenous Cultural Heritage utilizing and contributing to Global Earth Observation science, data and technology to create a knowledge base that will sustain the Earth we live upon. Panelists discuss and explore the development and advancement of culturally appropriate and inclusive Earth Observation applications for Indigenous leadership, education, and communities to support Indigenous rights and interests.

The panelists' research and experiences demonstrate how combining Earth Observations and Indigenous knowledge can yield novel insights into and actions for preserving our environment.
