Amazon Indigenous Territories Map

I built an interactive map of the climate risks Indigenous territories in the Amazon face, and the benefits they provide, with COICA and the Environmental Defense Fund.

The map covers over 5,500 Indigenous territories and 1,000 protected areas across the Amazon basin. Visitors pick a risk, like extreme heat, wildfire, or drought, under a warming scenario, or a benefit, like forest cover, aboveground carbon, or biodiversity intactness. Clicking a territory shows its average values and a chart of how each risk grows as the planet warms.

What’s live now is the MVP, and work on it is ongoing. We’re still in conversation with Indigenous communities, and their feedback will shape the next round of changes.
