A quiet upgrade to how ASEAN protects its forests.

SoraPark is a new, sky-inspired digital layer for Protected Areas and OECMs in Southeast Asia. It is being developed with a simple ambition: to give scientists and NGOs clearer, more connected views of conservation performance – without adding noise or complexity.

Who is SoraPark for?

SoraPark is not a public app and not a monitoring tool for everyone. It is being shaped together with a small circle of scientists and NGOs who work on Protected Areas and OECM landscapes in ASEAN and need a quieter, better-organised way to see what is happening over time.

Researchers and scientific teams

For teams working on conservation effectiveness, forest transitions, or socio-ecological dynamics, SoraPark aims to provide:

– A more coherent view across sites and time, without prescribing methods.
– A way to link field insight with broader environmental signals.
– Space to explore questions before everything becomes “operationalised”.

NGOs and field-based organisations

For NGOs working with communities, rangers, and local authorities, SoraPark is meant to:

– Offer gentle, visual feedback on change, rather than dashboards full of alerts.
– Reduce fragmentation across tools and reports.
– Keep the focus on people, context, and long-term trust.

What SoraPark quietly focuses on

SoraPark is not trying to replace existing systems or claim to solve every problem. Instead, it focuses on a few careful improvements that can sit beside what you already use.

A calmer way to see how a protected forest or OECM landscape is evolving over years, not just months or single projects.

A place where scientific teams can bring their own indicators and still work with a shared, regionally aware reference frame.

Light-touch support for NGOs who want to understand patterns across sites without committing to yet another full monitoring platform.

Attention to ASEAN realities – forest mosaics, community use, climate risks, and policy frameworks – without over-claiming what can be measured.

A design that keeps methods and raw data in the hands of those who generate them, rather than centralising everything in one “black box”.

Enough structure to be useful for 30by30 and post-COP30 discussions, yet open enough for exploratory research and new collaborations.

Early conversations and pilots

SoraPark is currently in its concept and early prototyping phase. We are speaking with a small number of research groups and NGOs in ASEAN who are interested in co-designing how this platform should (and should not) be used.

If you are curious, but prefer not to commit to anything until the ideas are fully crystallised, we understand. The next step can be as simple as a short, off-the-record conversation.
