There is now a very cool new site that uses satellite imaging to maintain real time monitoring of deforestation , it shows where all the logging and reforestation is taking place. http://www.globalforestwatch.org
Dave whats that pink blob in your back garden
Global forestwatch
Re: Global forestwatch
Already seen this; it is very inaccurate - you only need to see the moorlands of the northern Pennines (deforested centuries ago) being shown as 'forest loss in 2012'. Somehoe their software tags heather moor as 'recently deforested' land.
Re: Global forestwatch
No forest gain in my back garden but it's nice to see my local motorway roundabout showing up blue in one quarter. They must have forgotten to mow that bit.
