Since 2006 Samdhana institute has working in this issues and putting mapping as the major concern. With the current ongoing Pro Poor REDD project funded by DANIDA Through IUCN HQ Swiss, Samdhana as the Indonesia implementation parts remain expanding mapping in Baliem Valley and Kaimana landscape.

Most the community organizing/mapping facilitator in Papua agree that the core of mapping is when all the community in collaboration discuss, draw and maps their territories based on social/anthropology  acknowledgement and bring it to the final common agreement. But mapping it self should not ended in the plain paper but should become the living document for the customary community to works on their land and rights problem.
