Earth Genome

Earth Index is now open to everyone! 🌍🛰️🎉 No waitlist. Here's what we're launching today: bit.ly/4cSWRg4

Since opening it up to everyone last month, we've been amazed by the response and thrilled to see journalists around the globe using it to uncover stories that matter.

Indicator's @CraigSilverman sat down with Ed Boyda for a step-by-step guide on getting started with Earth Index. ➡️bit.ly/4ttLh0X

The findings in the report leverage our work with partners @ACA_DC and @pulitzercenter using satellite images to track mining across the Amazon since 2018.

@AP reports on #AmazonMiningWatch. Since 2018, nearly 496 hectares of rainforest have been cleared for mining across the region. Rising gold prices are a key driver leading to mercury contamination & illegal destruction of indigenous lands. 🔗 bit.ly/4cX4R0Q AP photo

Grateful for your support and partnership throughout this journey!🙏

🌍@Code4Africa, the @pulitzercenter, and @EarthGenome are launching Africa Mining Watch, a groundbreaking tool that leverages satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to detect mining operations across the African continent. 👉 To mark the occasion, twenty journalists were invited to take part in an exclusive online mapathon focused on West Africa and the Congo Basin, held on April 22, 2026. 🎙️@alexabdelilah, journalist at Forbidden Stories, explained how @EarthGenome's AI model helped map illegal gold mining in Ghana for our cross-border investigation “Toxic Gold” published with our partners @fourthestategh and @reporters_co. Combining satellite imagery from 2024 and Earth Genome’s AI model, we were able to pinpoint the areas most affected by mining in southwest Ghana. The algorithm analyzed the distinctive patterns of artisanal mining operations, allowing us to identify nearly 150,000 hectares of mining sites — some located in protected areas. 📰 Read our full investigation: forbiddenstories.org/projects_posts… #GreenCrimes #ForbiddenStories #PressFreedom #Ghana

🗺️ What a day! An epic 7+ hour #AfricaMiningWatch mapathon with 30+ mappers. The energy in the room was electric! Huge thank you to every participant & our partners @Code4Africa and @pulitzercenter . Stay tuned for more! ➡ bit.ly/4mOWh7v Image: Kuek Ser Kuang Keng
