One of the biggest challenges we face as a land community is the way in which we share information about our respective work and projects. We currently lack one key virtual and accessible online space to document land related projects worldwide, so that we may get an overview of what is happening and build on, instead of duplicate initiatives. The goal is complementarity and collaboration, instead of competition. It is with this in mind that the Land Portal Foundation is launching an all new database of land and property rights projects.

These pilots sought to test how private companies could collaborate with civil society organisations and other stakeholders to implement responsible agribusiness investments that recognise and respect community land rights, and to develop innovative tools and approaches that could be adopted and implemented at greater scale.

Submit Your Data Story for the Land Portal’s Second Data Story Contest
As data enthusiasts, we believe in the power that data holds and are strong proponents for democratizing information, making it easy to share and reuse. Despite this, data scientists and those working with data in general, often struggle to communicate how and why data are essential and potentially life changing. The word data often conjures up notions of difficult to understand numbers or facts, information that is out of reach for the general population, meant for data scientists or those carrying out work that requires a certain level of expertise.
Webinar Report: Land, Territory and Human Rights Violations in Guatemala
In 2018, Global Witness found that Guatemala had experienced the highest increase in the number of murders of land and environmental defenders of any country in the world.
