The Environmental Areas of Responsibility (EAOR) Project developed a prototype organizational information sharing tool for the Plata River Basin (PRB) in South America (see Figure One). Through this project AAAS explored relatively simple steps towards the integration of the disparate yet related organizational activities across the PRB. Using an online map, EAOR provided information on 243 organizations working at local, sub-national, and international scales within and around the PRB.
