Clément has just published new services associated with the massifs - Now it is possible to have a massif made up of different zones, these zones can include holes - It is possible to import a file corresponding to the perimeter of the massif - The display of entries associated with the massif uses clustering (display of hexagons in areas of high density of caves) and a limit size of the massif to avoid inappropriate use of the service This system responds to a request from the NSS but also from other organizations to have massifs which correspond to areas which benefit from particular protection.

The Wikicaves team wishes you a wonderful 2026 and invites you to participate in sharing information about the underground environment. The link below will show you how you can support us. https://www.helloasso.com/associations/wikicaves

Thanks to a development by Clément, it is now possible to find out which organizations participated in the exploration of a cave. It is already possible to provide complete information about the organizations and to indicate your membership. These developments are part of an initiative to provide all the necessary information for documenting caves, enabling environmental protection while sharing information.

Clément has just updated the libraries used to run Grottocenter. He also took the opportunity to reactivate the IGN map and converter, and added a map search tool. All these services are also accessible from the entry and organization creation and editing forms. Thanks, Clément!

Clément has just released new services related to organizations. You can now indicate that you belong to an organization and show the caves explored by the organizations you are a member of. It is also possible to discover the collections published by each organization. Explore these new services and tell us what you think.

Jean-Loup Guyot provided the GSBM documents, but above all, he did a tremendous amount of work to ensure that Grottocenter provides a complete inventory of the caves of Bolivia and Peru. For Bolivia this only represents 56 Caves https://grottocenter.org/ui/countries/BO However, the GSBM has conducted numerous explorations in Peru, and it is now possible to discover the results on Grottocenter, where 922 caves have been recorded https://grottocenter.org/ui/countries/PE This is based on information archived on https://cuevasdelperu.org/ by the GSBM, the Vulcans, the Dolomites, and the ECA Lima. Thank you again, Jean-Loup, for sharing this and for the time you devoted to it.
