RRI, the Latin American Studies Institute of the University of Texas, and the University of the Andes organized a Forum on Participatory Mapping in Latin America, entitled “Participatory Cartography and Rights to Territory and Resources” in Bogota, Colombia. This meeting gathered 80 people from all over Latin America, as well as a few participants from Asia and Africa. Participants analyzed the role of participatory mapping as a political process within a larger struggle and strategies for local communities to gain tenure rights over land and resources.
