Deforestation in Central America and Mexico (2)

Project overview

This project aims to detect forest loss in Central America and Mexico. You will be comparing an older set of Bing satellite imagery against newer Maxar imagery to look for evidence of forest loss. This will help generating a detailed map of the extent and severity of forest loss in recent years. It is important to gather this information because there is a strong relationship between forest loss and negative environmental impacts and climate change. It should also enable us to identify the causes of forest loss, which will assist in any collaborations with local organisations to plan actions. This is part of the wider OpenCities program, which aims to shed light on the relationship between local communities and nearby forests. Este proyecto tiene como objetivo detectar la pérdida de bosques en América Central y México. Compararás un conjunto de imágenes satelitales de Bing más antiguas, con imágenes Maxar más recientes, para buscar evidencia de la pérdida de bosques. Esto permitirá generar un mapa detallado de la extensión y gravedad de la pérdida de bosques en los últimos años. Es importante reunir esta información porque existe una fuerte relación entre la pérdida de bosques y los impactos ambientales negativos y el cambio climático. También debería permitirnos identificar las causas de la pérdida de bosques, lo que ayudará en cualquier colaboración con organizaciones locales para plantear acciones. Esto forma parte del programa más amplio OpenCities, que pretende arrojar luz sobre la relación entre las comunidades locales y los bosques cercanos.

Aggregated Results
Aggregated Results. This gives you the unfiltered MapSwipe results aggregated on the task level. This is most suited if you want to apply some custom data processing with the MapSwipe data, e.g. select only specific tasks. Check our documentation for more details. (Note that you need to unzip this .gz file before you can use it.)
