ISLA JOVAI TEJU, Paraguay (Reuters) - Rumilda Fernلndez's indigenous community has long tended its ancestral lands in Paraguay, marking boundaries with an ancient system of names for trees and streams. Now, squeezed by deforestation and farming, the community is going digital to defend itself.
Fernلndez, 28, is one of the group's first technology-equipped forest monitors, traversing the narrow earthen tracks of the Isla Jovai Teju community's land to map the area with a smartphone app and GPS.
