New Website Tracks Deforestation in Near Real-Time
Forests around the world are disappearing at an astonishing rate. But now, these trees won't fall without a sound.
A new map and website called Global Forest Watch provides the first near-real-time look at the planet's forests, using a combination of satellite data and user-generated reports. The website's developers hope that Global Forest Watch will help local governments and companies combat deforestation and save protected areas.
At globalforestwatch.org, users can scroll across the globe and zoom in on areas of loss.
