Google Earth Outreach

Google Earth Outreach is a project initiated by Google program that supports non-profit organizations by making their information available on Google Earth. These 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 the observation of regional conflicts.

So in June 2008, received twenty representatives of indigenous peoples in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, among them the Suruí, appropriate training, and thus the opportunity to observe in their reserve illegal logging via satellite. If necessary they receive from Google and newer higher -resolution images.

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 other software, such as Google Earth Pro, Google SketchUp Pro and Google Maps API Premier to access.
