Kaçmaz Arsa — Interactive Land Map
Parcels, zoning overlays and surrounding amenities for a Turkish land-investment firm — rendered to feel less like a GIS export and more like a brochure.

I'm Ana Clara Santos — a forest engineer and designer working between cartography, GIS and the web. I help mission-driven projects in conservation, science and small business turn complex territory into clear stories.
Based in Acre, Brazil — the triple frontier of Brazil, Peru & Bolivia.
About
I trained as a forest engineer at the Universidade Federal do Acre, and my undergraduate research traced thirty-seven years of land-use change inside the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve — using MapBiomas data and Google Earth Engine to ask how policy, settlement and illegal deforestation reshape the western Amazon.
Since 2021 I've worked across three worlds: as a research assistant at Cornell University on aspirational well-being for Amazonian youth; as a technical assistant at CPI-Acre, supporting indigenous territorial monitoring on the Nawa, Nukini and Cabeceira do Rio Acre lands; and as the founder of ACS Consultorias, which has reached more than 400 people through geotechnology training and environmental regularization in the Amazon.
I design websites for the same kinds of clients — clean, calm, content-first sites for consultancies and conservation projects who deserve better than a template.

Currently accepting partners
Envreg is a service for environmental regularization in rural Brazil — built on the same fieldwork, GIS pipelines and community engagement my team has used since 2021. The platform is in active development, and I'm currently inviting partners: regional agronomists, environmental lawyers, fintech operators and investors who care about the Amazon.
My B2B and B2C consultancy supporting rural producers, indigenous communities and conservation projects across the Amazon since 2021.
