LandMark remembers beloved team member, Ghanimat Azhdari, 1983-2020

As of today, the indigenous and community land maps on
LandMark cover 12.9% of the world’s land, out of an estimated 50% or more
that is held by Indigenous Peoples and communities globally.


Ghanimat Azhdari at the LandMark Steering Group meeting in Lima, Peru, 2015

We are deeply saddened by the recent loss of one of LandMark's founding Steering Group members, Ghanimat Azhdari, who represented our partner organizations, Cenesta and UNINOMAD. She was a tireless supporter of Indigenous Peoples' rights in Iran, a gifted geographer, and wonderful friend. We will miss her greatly and will continue to honor her efforts through LandMark.
