Mapping Patagonia

I get a lot of requests to put stuff on the blog and not many get put on as they're not relevant - here's one that is.
It's a Kickstarter project to raise funds for a project by an organisation called MAPS FOR GOOD to map the Patagonia National Park.
There's some interesting detail here.



With the support of the team behind the Patagonia National Park Project, we will produce an interactive visual manifestation of the park and its conservation mission, accessible worldwide. Our goal is to tell the unusual story of the future park through compelling cartography combined with rich multimedia visual content and spoonfuls of educational information. Using the content we collect, combined with open-source data and crowd-sourced content, we will create a print map and guide to the park and an interactive web map complete with rich visual and educational content.
The benefits of our project will reach beyond Patagonia to conservationists and educators around the world. We're exploring the future of new-media cartography for conservation, communication, and education.

The project is close to achieving its financial target...
