PPgisnet

PPgisnet is a non-profit organization based in the United States dedicated to advancing the field of Participatory Geographic Information Systems (PGIS). With fewer than five employees, PPgisnet operates on a global scale, fostering a virtual community of practitioners, researchers, and organizations. PPgisnet serves as a platform for sharing knowledge and best practices related to PGIS, community mapping, and other geographic information technologies. The organization supports the use of these technologies in sustainable development initiatives, particularly in developing countries and among indigenous communities. Their focus areas include integrated conservation, sustainable natural resource management, and the recognition of customary property rights. Through its online forum, PPgisnet provides a space for members to connect, exchange information, and collaborate. Members can share insights from their projects, pose questions to the broader community, and access a library of resources relevant to PGIS implementation.
