Our latest collaboration is with Paani Earth for a collaboration story on #Bangelore rivers! An epic, in-depth look about how rivers can be overexploited and polluted until they are forgotten... and they can be brought back! https://app.terraso.org/tools/story-maps/8361a12f/the-story-of-forgotten-rivers/

Well, we originally planned just one major release this week, but now we have two!

Terraso's free and open source story mapping feature just got a much-requested update: autosave. Now when you work on your story map you can focus on your story, not saving.

May thanks to our friends at Conservation International Guyana for providing feedback and helping us to prioritize this feature.

Hi all. We're excited to share we've published a new, free, open source soil science application: #LandPKS Soil ID!

Soil ID makes it simple to identify the soil beneath your feet. Gather observations about the soil and compare your data to possible soils from local soil maps.

We're launching in the U.S. to start with, with soils outside the U.S. coming soon thereafter.

Our new feature for adding data to story maps already is showing an impact.

Most start-ups fail, their ideas and intellectual property lost. Imagine a playbook that would encourage and aid founders in releasing their work to the commons, providing resources to the community and creating new opportunities for a new wave of innovation.

Terraso project director Steve Francis will be at DWeb camp to talk about #ExitToOpen - hope to see you there!

Huge congratulations to Digital Democracy for the latest release of Terrastories!

For a long time, Terrastories has been an open source, offline-friendly way to record stories about the land, used by dozens of indigenous communities around the world. Now, people can publish (and share) their Terrastories online: https://terrastories.app/explore-a-landmark-achievement-for-terrastories/

We were covered The Permaculture Podcast!

If you haven't already discovered Scott Mann and David Bilbrey's "The Permaculture Podcast", you should look them up - it's a great learning resource filled with case studies about people living in harmony with the land.

Damian illustrates beautifully that a better world is possible - choices around engineering can be made in harmony with the landscape. We hope that Terraso can be one of the tools for storytellers to use to convey their visions for a better world.

Damian and his team propose using "green-grey" engineering to replace concrete barriers along the coast with Mangrove trees, which will endure the seas and capture progressing mudbanks to grow the coastline.

The practice of building concrete walls has continued since the colonial era, and people on the coast have to deal with flooding. The strength of the sea is actually increased by the hard, flat barriers, often to devastating effect.

"In Guyana, however, our unique colonial history resulted in the reshaping of the coast. Large-scale construction of sea walls and dams directly along the coast, forever changing the behaviour of coastal currents and interrupting this natural earth engine."

"The flat land along the coast is made from the sediment washed into the ocean by Amazon. Organising into mudbanks, this sediment gets pushed northwest by currents, launching a transcontinental mass mud migration.

Building up over countless centuries, this carbon-rich soil powered the sugar economy for the colonial Dutch, French and British empires; it forced our ancestors together and wrought our Guyanese identity. "
