A shared picture of the Amazon

Knowledge about the Amazon lives across communities, institutions, and datasets. Atlas connects it through the places they know and care for.
  • What places are being cared for?
    Explore protected areas, Indigenous territories, and other collective lands—with information on their recognition, governance, and local context.
  • How are they changing?
    Understand forest cover, ecological condition, and pressures such as roads, mining, and fire. Examine individual places or patterns across landscapes.
  • What supports their care?
    Bring together management assessments, collective stewardship, community perspectives, and information on who supports where.

One place. A more complete picture.

A boundary shows where a territory is. Understanding its future also means knowing what is changing, how it is governed, and what matters to the people who care for it—and seeing it alongside the territories around it.

Built with the people who know these places.

Atlas grows through the knowledge of Indigenous Peoples, local communities, area managers, researchers, governments, and partner organizations.
  • Locally informed
    People and institutions contribute knowledge about the places they know and represent.
  • Reviewed with care
    Proposed changes to area records pass through validation before publication.
  • Shared on defined terms
    Access reflects permissions and responsibilities. Communities choose the visibility of their own stories and maps.
Our approach to participation and data sovereignty
