We want to celebrate and recognize your contributions!

Every month, we showcase the contributor, our UN Mapper of the Month who have distinguished themselves from the crowd due to their exceptional achievements and contributions to the UN Mappers community goals and objectives. You could be the next one!

You can contribute as a UN Mapper in different ways:

Contribute to our mapping projects and keep track of your data through our UN Mappers Leaderboard. We will be awarding the mappers positioned at the top of this leaderboard.
Please keep in mind that we evaluate not only the quantity of data, but also the quality!

Organize collaborative events with your community and let us know through our social media or mail! The more people you have an impact on, the better.

Expand the UN Mappers community by organizing a local group of mappers to contribute to our mapping projects!
We are also looking to capacitate and empower of local communities and small groups!

You may also support by doing community activities like translations, logo designs, illustrations and so on!

Mapper of the month

Nicolas Bounet

Our Mapper of the Month for May 2025 is Nicolas Bounet. Nicolas is a GIS enthusiast, and history and geography highschool teacher from France. Since 2023, he has collaborated with the UN Mappers Team to provide three-day online training sessions with the Theophile Gautier Highschool in Tarbes, France.

"I feel that schools need to embrace this revolution and make sure our students have both the skills and the awareness of the potential of geospatial data. The great thing about collborative mapping is that students realise that computer science and humanitarian aid can go hand in hand."
