Biodiverseni

Indonesia

Biodiverseni (“the art of biodiversity”), is a project created by the Pejeng Village Government and Bali Lite Institute to translate the village’s ecological, historical and cultural assets into a map, art exhibit, and phone app. In the face of intense pressure to develop tourist infrastructure, these tools are helping local leaders, residents and visitors join together to preserve Pejeng’s culture – and now the local government is using the project’s data as a baseline for its development planning and budgeting. See the map here and visit the Pejeng Village Government (Indonesian language) and Bali Lite (English) websites for more information on the project.
