  UNDP Nature for Development and its colleagues from NASA held a workshop with Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, on SDG 15: Life on Land. The purpose of this workshop was to advance the technical spatial data expertise of the countries' decision-makers in order to optimize their monitoring of key biodiversity. To record the key takeaways of the workshop, the team created an in-depth workshop report in Spanish. UNDP Nature for Development is seeking essential translation support from someone familiar with translating documents from Spanish to English in order to amplify the impact of this report.
