Title: Google Data Powers Real-Time Deforestation Alarm System Post by: HCK on February 21, 2014, 02:00:27 pm Google Data Powers Real-Time Deforestation Alarm System
The World Resources Institute has launched Global Forest Watch, a dynamic online forest monitoring and alert system to help fight the massive deforestation of the planet. GFW will let governments monitor where forest clearing is occurring in near-real-time and track illegal forest logging almost immediately. Farmers can upload calls to action from mobile phones if their communities are endangered.
