BG · berlinergazette.de · EN|DE · Appropriating the Power of Mapping for Environmental Justice? The Politics of Zoom in the Global Monitoring of ForestsMonitoring technologies have been tested and applied not only to human life, but also to non-human life. Examples include wildlife studies and various earth and atmospheric studies. In their contribution, Lynda Olman and Birgit Schneider focus on forest mapping. They deconstruct the metaphor of zoom and discuss the possibility of using mapping technologies without perpetuating underlying transnational power structures.

As of 14 July, we have completely mapped and validated Project 1 
With your time and contributions, we have added about:
1,370 km of waterways and 520km² of farmland areas!
#FAO is now using the #opendata for spatial analysis for monitoring and improvements of crop production and food security in southern Mauritania 
We had a great first experience in #openstreetmap #mapping #party
Thanks @contrapunctus for inviting us.
We use #organicMaps a lot and feels great to create some new nods that will be feeding to the maps.
