Summary

The Global Forest Watch is a dynamic online forest monitoring system that brings together near-real-time deforestation data, interactive mapping and analysis tools, and geospatial subscription services to monitor deforestation alerts in areas around the world. The platform unites data visualization, big data, crowd sourcing, and environmental monitoring, subjects that are all core to the Vizzuality mission. It is an open source technology with many of its visualizations powered by CartoDB, allowing for innovative ways to visualize large-scale deforestation data in the browser. This project represents a step into the future for global change monitoring and collaboration between organizations such as WRI's DataLab, which brings together big data thinkers and software engineers to study global change issues.
