GeoSelva, una herramienta para la gobernanza ambiental amazónica

One of the persistent gaps in the Colombian Amazon is access to environmental information. The causes of this gap are varied and include low institutional presence of the State, the absence of public policies focused on this direction, and the persistence of centralist and hierarchical visions around the territory. In many cases, this gap translates into socio-environmental conflicts, becoming a barrier to the conservation and sustainability of the region. In this article we present GeoSelva, a map viewer that seeks to contribute to close this gap. We describe the construction process of the tool, its design, functionality, and potential for strengthening environmental governance processes in the region. Furthermore, we offer some reflections on its limitations and possibilities in both the Colombian and pan-Amazonian contexts.
