Global Forest Watch, a program of World Resources Institute, keeps track of the world’s forests. They combine satellite data, cloud computing, and advanced algorithms to detect deforestation data in real-time. Their free, powerful information tool helps government, companies and civil society make decisions and take timely action to manage and protect forests.

She studied Anthropology and Public Policy at Rice University and has traveled the world to research how indigenous communities use technology to protect their resources.
