We are happy to announce that GeoPAS now has an online presence.

GeoPAS was started 25 years ago by Peter Sawatzky and Alfred Sawatzky to provide mapping support to various stakeholders in the Paraguayan Gran Chaco. Over the years we have gained experience remotely monitoring land use changes, fires, and rainfall. We have come a long way from our original mission 25 years ago. Today our mission is:

Using our skills with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), GPS, satellite remote sensing, and cartography, we support our local partners to help them understand the geographic changes, patterns, and trends in the Paraguayan Gran Chaco.

On this new geopas.org website we will post information about:

  • active projects we are involved with
  • links to local partners’ activities
  • blog posts about our journey observing the Chaco from above.
