Mapping and Society
summary
Argues that maps must layer scientific and Indigenous knowledge to show change over time and guide decisions about water, food and towns. Describes Nature Map as a mobile-phone citizen‑science platform with a moderation layer, cloud hosting and CSIRO feeding a national database; local volunteers ID common species while experts verify rares and contributors get email feedback. Shows contested examples (songlines vs Canning Stock Route), a regenerative‑community prototype linking schools, councils and native‑foods research, and that these systems already work in pilots.
