What if a Big Data System Could Really Save Forests?

0  comments

Forrest tree topsWhat would you think if forty partners got together and pooled their resources to create a forest monitoring tool that draws information from a rich array of big data related to the word’s forests?

What if it could translate that information into interactive maps and charts to reveal trends in deforestation, forest recovery, and industrial forest expansion?

Well, they did, and it can. Now the World Resources Institute’s Global Forest Watch tool is revolutionizing forest monitoring by allowing authorities and conservationists to take action against deforestation as it is occurring.

It’s just another environmental big data success story.

The data is out there - shouldn’t you be using it? EcoBlu Analyst subscribers already are.
