Welcome

Welcome to the IPACC Blog.

IPACC is preparing for a Pan-African workshop on how geospatial information technology (GPS, GIS, participatory mapping and cybertracker technology) can be used by indigenous peoples to ensure their recognition as stakeholders in land and natural resources management, conservation and climate change discussions.

This blog will be launched at the Workshop and encourage participants to express their thoughts and comments, experiences and lessons on the workshop processes.

IPACC will also be attending the IUCN's World Conservation Congress in Barcelona, Spain in October 2008, and IPACC members will meet in Marrakech, Morocco in November for a joint workshop with Conservation International on Climate Change, Adaptation and Mitigation.

Would you like to contribute to this blog?
At each venue, IPACC will set up a computer system with access to this blog.
If you have your own laptop or PC, and would like to be a regular author on this blog, please email your request to ipacc.blog@gmail.com for an invitation.
