Kazakhstan will join the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) Mapping Nature for People and Planet project along with Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru, and Uganda, the UNDP reported in Kazakhstan. The unique pilot project will transform the way the local governments use spatial data to tackle conservation and sustainable development.

The UNDP selected the pilot countries based on their commitment to the UN’s evidence-based management of natural resources plan and the availability of spatial data on biodiversity in their respective countries.
