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. Share Want a seat at the table?

Nearly 20 percent of intact forest landscapes overlap with extractive industries

Credit: Julie Larson Maher/WCS Byron Bay (16/7/2021) - A new study from WCS and WWF reveals that nearly 20 percent of tropical Intact Forest Landscapes (IFLs) overlap with concessions for extractive industries such as mining, oil and gas. The total area of overlap is 376,449 square miles (975,000 square kilometers), about the size of Egypt. Mining concessions overlap most with tropical IFLs, at 11.33 percent of the total area, while oil and gas concessions overlap with 7.85 percent of the total area. IFLs are globally important for conserving biodiversity and fighting climate change. These landscapes represent some of the last places on Earth that still contain species assemblages at near-natural levels of abundance. According to 2013 estimates, 549 million acres of intact tropical forests remain. Only 20 percent of tropical forests can be considered intact, but those areas store some 40 percent of the above-ground carbon found in all tropical forests. At least 35 percent of int
