What is Moabi?
A collaborative mapping system that builds a community of
users to share, edit, and discuss spatial information

Challenges in data collection
• Lack of coordination of organizations collecting data• Use of closed systems• Lack of capacity and resources• Sensitive • Proprietary• Dynamic

Why do we need the data
• Project future rates of deforestation• Integrated conservation and development planning• Climate adaptation

Moabi RDC
Provide a open and transparent forum for civil society
to inform REDD+ in the Democratic Republic of Congo
1. Review proposed REDD+ projects
2. Identify other land uses
3. Flag illegal REDD+ projects
