Remote Landscape Support

The Coronavirus pandemic and related 'lockdowns' created significant challenges for environmental projects. The different causes of stress included restricted movement of members, as well as tourism, or technical enablers. Increased difficulty of communication contributed to misunderstandings, project delays and frustrations that reduce community trust and engagement.

By providing a unified and structured location for information to be exchanged between stakeholders in real time, including field officers, project managers, advisors, and other community members, the administrative burden is greatly reduced, and the collaborative functionality helps Commonland support project developers in this directly.

The system lets internal and external stakeholders access the most up-to-date information and details of a project. This lowers the risk of miscommunication, and structures implementation efforts. A further benefit of the system has been to increase the security and integrity of information.

Even rigorous documentation of the project for the preparation of software has provided structure that aids understanding and alignment between stakeholders, as well as sense of self-empowerment and collaboration.
