“ At the Forest Development Authority in Liberia, we saw a need to improve science-based decision making in forest resource management. We developed a Forest Atlas with Global Forest Watch that allows us to manage and share information about forest cover and land use. The Forest Atlas revolutionized how we communicate about the forest sector in Liberia. ”
“ Mongabay is a science-based environmental news platform aiming to inspire, educate, and inform the public. The deforestation and fire alerts on GFW allow us to identify stories as they're happening on the ground. In Peru, we were able to track fires as they invaded protected areas and mobilize our Latin America team to get coverage. It added a really timely dimension to our reporting and led Peruvian officials to go out immediately and address the situation. ”
