I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Nigel Sizer, Global Director of the Forests Program for the World Resources Institute.
In this interview he discusses Global Forest Watch, a satellite monitoring system, which powered by Google's Earth Engine is capable of detecting illegal logging across the world; in near-realtime.
As the need to protect the world's remaining rainforests becomes ever more important, Nigel and his team should be applauded for their amazing work -- a truly great achievement for planet Earth!
