Phone app system helps Indigenous communities save the forest in Peru


Deforestation is a rampant problem in the Amazon rainforest that’s increasingly well-documented via satellite imaging. Now, a project in Peru puts imaging into the hands of people who can use it in real time. In 2018, conservation groups in Peru gave Indigenous forest monitors in dozens of communities a new phone app. It shows satellite data of the nearby forests so they can see deforestation as it happens and stop it. On The World's The Big Fix segment this week, host Marco Werman speaks about this solution with Tom Bewick, with the Rainforest Foundation in Lima, Peru.
