Salah seorang penyusun, David Gaveau, pernah untuk WCSIP. Penyusun juga minta bantuan teman2 untuk mensosialisasikan link ini kepada stakeholders di tingkat lokal, seperti PEMDA, dll. Bagi teman2 yang memiliki akses ke mailing list lain, juga dapat menginformasikannya . Selamat mencoba dan membantu mensosialisasikanny a. A picture is worth a thousand words. This website puts precise maps of deforestation over Sumatra , the sixth largest island on Earth freely at your fingertips using Google Earth. Free and easy access to environmental information is an act of transparency, a crucial element of democracy. In a 1998 speech, then US vice president Al Gore called for an undertaking to build a computing system that would put the full range of geographic data about our planet at our fingertips [1,2]. He coined this vision 'Digital Earth'. Precise maps of tropical deforestation are among the most inspiring applications of 'Digital Earth' to inform decision makers and the general public. www.sumatranforest. org is an independent website that puts precise maps of tropical deforestation over Sumatra freely at your fingertips using Google Earth and KML. The Maps will unfold onto Google’s digital Earth in full resolution (up to 1:150,000 scale) by simply activating the links in the menu 'data'. You will obtain a bird’s-eye view of Sumatran forest landscapes, and the threats they are facing inside and outside the protected areas. The maps you are about to see are property of Wildlife Conservation Society-Indonesia Program (WCS-IP), Conservation International (CI), and Indonesian Ministry of Forestry's Directorate General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation (PHKA), but these organizations have made these data freely available to anyone, electronically to improve environmental governance in Indonesia [7].
