World Resources Institute suggests conservation organizations to participate utilize the Global Forest Watch. "Forest destruction is shown by satellite imagery has been going on for a long time," they wrote via his website, which is reported by The Verge, Friday, February 21, 2014.
The map is quite detailed in monitoring a region. Such as you want to see the destruction of forests in Brazil that occurred several years ago. In quick time will appear on the data and information in any part of the damage occurred, as well as any areas that have been rehabilitated.
Institutions that environmentalists hope the state with a fairly severe damage to forests were also utilizes the Global Forest Watch. How does this map work is considered effective to monitor and analyze forest damage in a short time.
