New Google Earth Layer Shows Forest Dest

Greenpeace...

It is an interesting moment when you brainstorm for cool things to do on a campaign, just to notice two days later while doing a Google search that someone else did it. This happened to me yesterday, when I stumbled upon the new Google Earth disappearing forests layer, created by Google Earth genius David Tryse.
It showcases which primary forests around the world are depleted, as well as the data comparing what was there originally and what is left now. This layer has been created using some of our data, which we’re happy to boast about.
If you have Google Earth installed on your computer, you can download the layer here .
