This layer shows the boundaries of lands and/or natural resources that are held or used by Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Data are sourced from LandMark at www.landmarkmap.org. LandMark classifies the data into a standard global typology based on Identity (Indigenous or Community), Government Recognition Status, and Documentation Status. Included in this layer are 'Indicative areas', which represent where Indigenous Peoples' land and territories and Local Communities' lands likely exist, but data on the precise delimitation, recognition and/or documentation status of the lands is not available at this time. The purpose of this category is to promote awareness of the extent of Indigenous Peoples’ and local communities’ lands even in the absence of detailed demarcation data. See www.landmarkmap.org for more information.

Depicts Indigenous Peoples' and local communities' lands and territories for available countries around the world, classified by legal recognition status. This dataset includes indicative areas of indigenous and local community lands, which represent areas where Indigenous Peoples and local communities are known to hold or use land or resources, but the clear delimitation and/or recognition status of the area is not currently available.

This data has been assembled from a variety of contributors and sources. Only data from governments, individual experts, and established civil society organizations in the land rights community are displayed on this platform. Even though a country may not have national or community level data included in this data set, Indigenous Peoples and communities may still hold or use land in that country. The absence of data does not indicate the absence of indigenous or community land.
