Here you will find the two main locations on which we are are currently working in Colombia, but we are expanding! Since 2025, we started to work with a Community Garden in Germany.
Colombia is a very interesting country located in the south upper corner of South America. With sea-cost on both Atlantic and Pacific oceans, it can be divided in six geographical regions with huge differences between them : Amazon region, Andean region, Pacific region, Eastern planes region (Orinoquia), Caribbean region, and the Insular region.
At GUA·QUYE, we are connecting two different ecosystems: The first one is located in the Tropical High-Mountains environments of Colombia (Andean Region) and the second one located in the Easter planes. Furthermore, the fact that our work takes place in one of the Mega-Diverse countries in the world, a hot spot of diversity, makes are work on landscape management, re-forestation, knowledge transfer, open Science, and agricultural management, etc., totally worth it!
Using a Free Open-Source Technology, based on OpenStreetMap, called uMAP, we were able to publish a web map, that holds a high level of interoperability with other application, making it suitable for our future pedagogical purposes on collaborative mapping and social cartography.
Since 2025, We start to work with a Community Garden in Germany, initially by building their web-site to increase its online visibility. Here you can read more about the Streueobstwiese Damlos-SOW_Damlos
