Since 2019, the Land Portal has been using data stories as a way to demonstrate how combining data with engaging, memorable and persuasive narratives that can empower communities to tell their stories to the world. 

 

 

 

The workshop "Using Data to Tell Compelling Stories About Land" featured a selection of  data stories published by the Land Portal, including from winners of the 2021 Data Story Contest and from the Land Portal's data team.  Panelists presented their data stories and reflected on collaboration with the Land Portal on writing and sharing an effective story, exploring how to create compelling stories by combining narratives with data, visuals, graphics, and other forms of media.

The Land Portal advocates for more and better open land data, but more and better have never been our end objectives. Data must be used; it needs a purpose. One of the ways we practice what we preach is through our data stories.

Indigenous Peoples and local communities have proven experience at maintaining and improving the carbon density of forest landscapes, often under dire and violent circumstances. Like much of the front line workers that have been so crucial in the current global climate, Indigenous Peoples and local communities are first responders in their own right, on the front lines of the fight to protect the planet’s remaining tropical forests.
