CartoCrítica has been collaborating with PWYP since 2021 and has became a member organization in 2024. It is an independent, non-profit Mexican civil initiative that promotes transparency and public access to geo-referenced socio-environmental information, in open formats, to achieve integrated territorial management, the respect for human rights and the conservation of biological and cultural diversity.
CartoCrítica’s work is multidisciplinary, based on legal and documentary research, geographic information systems and geostatistical analysis, to develop strategies, diagnoses and recommendations for transparency in environmental and territorial public policies, as well as the generation of specialized thematic cartography and statistics. Within CartoCrítica’s objectives and under these axes and work scheme, alliances and collaboration agreements have been established with other civil society organizations to promote particular social and environmental objectives.
