I love maps and mapping from the decolonizing lens, two-eyed seeing, and Indigenous land stewardship. I live in the Treaty One Native land on Turtle Island. I grew up in a rural village in Western Nepal. I use both open source GIS and Esri’s GIS.

Sonam Wangchuk from Ladakh is a climate activist and scientist, not a criminal. He is detained in jail with no valid reasons. Aren’t the Indian Government’s democratic values in question? #sonamwangchuk #justiceforsonamwangchuk

Most UN member states have failed to meet their biodiversity targets over the last two decades, marking two notable failures. In this paper, we discuss how Indigenous Peoples' governance of conservation can help avoid a third failure in 2030. #IPCA #30X30targets

I created this beautiful creature on QGIS while playing with layer overlays! Then, I added a brand “नक्शा" in Nepali language, which means map (relates to vision in some sense). We do not need paid GIS software for mapping, as the open-source alternative is still competitive!

Wildfires in Manitoba continue although the government's priority may have switched to resource extraction projects. See the split map through this link to observe the progression of wildfires around Pimicikamak in Manitoba.

A wildfire was recorded on Sentinel 2 near Flin Flon, Canada. More than 300,000 ha of forest burned.

Today marks the end of #BlackHistoryMonth2025.

As far as I'm concerned, Black History is twenty-four seven, three-hundred sixty five.

Never stop posting our stories and contributions to the world.
