Which collaborations and projects is Prof. Xak GeoCOMPASS-Visions currently involved in that support the UN SDGs?

We are currently working across a constellation of collaborations and prototype projects aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDGs 13, 14, 15, and 17. Based on the material you’ve seen (e.g., “Blessed be the Explorers, Pathfinders & Guardians: GeoCOMPASS eX‑BioSPHERE”), here is how our ecosystem is shaping up:

• GeoCompass Bioreserve System / eX‑BioSPHERE™

  • Focus: Biodiversity protection, climate resilience, regenerative land–water systems
  • SDGs: 13 (Climate Action), 14 (Life Below Water), 15 (Life on Land)
  • Status: Designing living “field labs” where Explorers and local partners collect geo‑ecological data, restore habitats, and test nature‑positive livelihoods.

• GeoCOMPASS Explorers & Pathfinders program (#geocompassexplorers)

  • Focus: Youth and community engagement in conservation, climate literacy, and place‑based learning
  • SDGs: 4 (Quality Education), 13, 15, and indirectly 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities)
  • Status: Building guided learning journeys around real landscapes—story-driven “missions” that blend mapping, observation protocols, and creative reflection.

• Guardians & Community Co‑Stewardship pilots

  • Focus: Training “Guardians” to steward local bioreserves, monitor ecosystems, and co‑design restoration plans with communities
  • SDGs: 15, 13, 1 & 8 (through sustainable livelihoods), 17 (Partnerships for the Goals)
  • Status: Early‑stage pilots in collaboration with local NGOs and education partners; framework emphasizes shared governance and indigenous/local knowledge.

• GeXI – GeoCOMPASS eXcellence Institute® (enabling hub)

  • Focus: R&D, training, and digital tools that support all field programs
  • SDGs: 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), 17 (Partnerships)
  • Status: Acting as the “backbone” organization, convening experts, educators, and technologists to co‑develop GeoCOMPASS methodologies and open‑standard protocols.

Because many of these collaborations are evolving, specific institutional partner lists and locations are often shared in briefings, field documents, or upcoming video releases rather than in public summaries. We aim to keep every initiative grounded in biodiversity, climate action, and sustainable living while remaining flexible enough to adapt by region.

If you share which SDGs or regions you care most about, we can outline how our current streams of work connect to that focus and where new collaborations might plug in.

Which SDGs or thematic areas (e.g., oceans, forests, urban resilience, education) are you most interested in?
