Green Mapmakers are local heroes and take a leading part of the global movement for sustainable community! Mapmakers are incredibly diverse, including environmentalists, teachers, community developers, planners, Eco-tourism experts, entrepreneurs, biologists, architects, and even geologists! Also, people of all ages are participating.

Green Mapmakers are playing an active part for sustainability on a regional level in association with other mapmakers with collecting data of natural and cultural resources in their region, including good things and bad things for the local.

All project teams are engaging in wide range of activities beyond local, with integrating a wealth of talent, unique perspectives, and needs of local community. Generally, the core team consists of 1 or 2 people, often holding workshops and events that relate to the Maps and inviting many people from communities. Moreover, the moat enjoyable part of Mapmaking is the process to the Map publication.

The ongoing projects create new design formats and broader point of view of the community and region, which become really useful resources for new small schools and communities to launch their project. This leads to the improvement of their living all over the world by helping younger generation think of their future, and providing expressive tool for all the people.

Please see Mapmaker’s Profile in the Maps section to see how diverse local Green Map project were published and digitalized.

Hundreds of Green Map projects are underway and you can see the impacts of the project in all the continents! Each Mapmaker contributes to not only local but also global level – GMS is designed to learn several things from its users. Mapmakers are invaluable for the movement and methodology of the Green Map. Their approaches are of great variety and you can see them at Profile , Historical Stories , and (GreenAtlas.org) on our website.

Each year about 60 communities respond to GMS’s opening invitation and lead each local Green Map project. Regardless of projects’ completion/incompletion, you can see the lists of all formally registered locations/regions at Mapmakers. Please remember… Since 2007, GMS has been in the process of transferring our website to the new one and the list of active Mapmakers is incomplete on this website now. To complement the list, please download this list

Basically, 1 location has 1 Map project and people who wants to participate in the project from now, it would be the best way contacting with one of the project members of ongoing project. If you are ready for participate, please click participate and continue your registration process!
