  • Traditional Ecological Knowledge: For example, in the forests of Kalimantan, Indonesia, where the official maps of the government and the timber industry (for logging and mining) were blank, counter-maps from indigenous people told a very different story of generations of use, as well as customs and disputes among and within different tribes.
  • Scale on an orthodox map is uniform; counter-maps can represent psychological as well as physical distances that are rarely linear or uniform.
  • Counter-mapping’s ability to capture fragmentation makes it a useful tool for documenting physical transformations wrought by climate change.[1]
