Map for Environment

We're at #ClimateWeekNYC and listening to the VP #eurocommission talk about powerful new regulatory approaches to tackle #deforestation

.@KristoforCarle and I started MapHubs almost two years ago to the day! Here is a blogpost talking about our work with @StandMighty @resourmatters @CarterCenter @EIAEnvironment @Global_Witness @cdcgroup and many others. maphubs.com/single-post/20…

.@bio_carta is organizing an #OSM Earth Mapathon at @CCI_Cambridge. All the details are below! twitter.com/bio_carta/stat…

Can maps stop a bulldozer? Read about how @maphubs helped @StandMighty use our tech and @planetlabs imagery to stop a palm oil company literally in its tracks - goo.gl/qzjhJw #tfa2020GA

For #EarthDay2018, our team joined with @maphubs & @VulcanInc to host a mapathon for the environment testing the new OSM Earth tasking manager buff.ly/2qYoDkS #opendata #openstreetmap

Excellent article in @ALERTconserv by @jeremy_hance on #palmoil and #timber in New Guinea goo.gl/Rm4c8D. Here's a @maphubs map of the agriculture estate documented by #AWASMIFEE @westpapuamedia w/ @greenpeace concession and @UMD_GLAD alert data. #7.7/-7.507/139.757" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mapforenvironment.org/map/view/532/I…

This new report shines a light to expose The Salim Group: @PepsiCos mysterious partner responsible for the clearing of 10,000 hectares of #rainforest in Borneo. Learn more about the devastation in pursuit of #palmoil profits. ran.org/salim_case

Very important research by scientists from @UMD_GLAD, @TheWCS on many others on the loss of intact landscapes, particularly forests. Here is a map showing what's left and what's been lost over the past few years. goo.gl/mpzASz twitter.com/Defenders/stat…

How a series of shady deals turned a chunk of Borneo into a sea of oil palm: news.mongabay.com/2018/03/how-a-…

@bio_carta @WWF @Greenpeace @FSC_IC @stephenwrightAP @jeremy_hance @CIFOR_hutan @RichardConniff @UMD_GLAD @ShreyaDasgupta See our latest tweet. This IFL clearance is probably not a violation of existing IFL logging rules. Our concern is that without a public FSC concession map and monitoring, IFL rule changes may create an incentive to log IFL before there is an outright ban.

@map4env @WWF @Greenpeace @FSC_IC @stephenwrightAP @jeremy_hance @CIFOR_hutan @RichardConniff @UMD_GLAD @ShreyaDasgupta Interested to hear response from @FSC_IC

.@WWF with @Greenpeace leaving @FSC_IC, will leave to? Of 6 FSC concessions overlapping intact forest inside the Heart of Borneo, 3 cut into it in 2017. See map. @stephenwrightAP @jeremy_hance @CIFOR_hutan @RichardConniff @UMD_GLAD @ShreyaDasgupta #6.44/1.003/114.022" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mapforenvironment.org/map/view/525/#…

@FSC_IC -certified intact forest logging inside the Heart of Borneo. Irony is this does not appear to break FSC IFL logging rules, but open data makes citizen scrutiny possible. Might be a "Place to Watch" @globalforests @Global_Witness @greenpeaceusa @wwf #11.18/0.8523/115.7015" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mapforenvironment.org/map/view/526/#…

Ever wondered where certified forest is located? @Geo_Wiki mapped it. Lots in Europe and N. America. Not so much in the tropics. @fsc_ic @PEFCC Read more about it here goo.gl/v33H1c #0/0/0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mapforenvironment.org/map/view/524/D…
