Overview
We develop geospatial solutions for state and community-level use including Web-GIS and mobile-based mapping applications to deepen access to spatial data and its effective use in forest management.
Noting the importance and technical challenges of mapping while making CFR claims as well as for management planning, we have developed open, community-informed and community-friendly applications – a WebGIS platform for identifying potential CFR areas and Aamcho CFR (a mobile based mapping application).
We also provide technical assistance and end-to-end facilitation in use of these applications for its use in community-based forest management.

Trainings on WebGIS for Claiming CFR Rights in Bastar District How do we as researchers help in the implementation of a progressive but complex piece of nature resource legislation? The implementation of the Forest Rights Act of 2006, especially its community rights provisions, has raised this question for us repeatedly. -
Mapping the potential of Community Forest Resource Rights in central India The article is based on ATREE's work on methodologies to estimate the potential area that could come under CFR rights and the locations of villages with CFR potential in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Maharashtra.
