Google Earth Outreach

Google Earth Outreach is a program initiated by Google that supports non-profit organizations by making their information available on Google Earth . In addition, Google Earth Outreach offers online exercises and introductions, not only in the use of Google Earth and Google Maps , but also for teaching or for observing regional conflicts.

In June 2008, twenty representatives of indigenous peoples in the Amazon rainforest area of Brazil , among them the Suruí , received appropriate training and thus the opportunity to observe illegal logging in their reserve by satellite. If necessary, you can get more current and higher resolution images from Google.

The program is carried out in the USA , Great Britain , France , the Netherlands , Spain , Switzerland and Germany as well as in Brazil. Non-profit organizations can access additional software such as Google Earth Pro , Google SketchUp Pro, and Google Maps API Premier .

Google Earth Outreach also has a YouTube channel.
