Messages on trees. “We protect our forests” This is what the frontlines look like in Bajo Lepe, Panama. Deep in the Darien Gap. Indigenous communities mark trees with conservation messages, while illegal loggers mark them with last names and false permit numbers. The good news is that a growing army of indigenous mappers are keeping track of illegally marked trees. They can swiftly feed coordinates to local prosecutors and trigger the right government intervention before the chainsaws get to work. @groundtruthgeo @geoindigena #darien #mapping
