Mongabay Data Journalism Tools.
Reforestation.app provides publicly available information on more than 360 tree-planting projects in 80 countries.
Transparency through the forest.
With an estimated 1.9 billion trees planted around the world annually, it’s difficult to identify which reforestation projects deserve support.
High-quality satellite imagery.
Trusted open source satellite imagery data accelerate journalistic storytelling outputs.
Visualizing new concepts.
Visual storytelling about ever-evolving processes such as supply chains needs to be supported by flexible tools.
Reforestation
Vizzuality’s efforts have resulted in smoother user interactions with the Reforestation.app as a starting point for their reforestation funding endeavors. Investors and donors are now welcomed by a more intuitive interface allowing them to submit, modify, and navigate different projects. Notable improvements also include refined search functionality and step-by-step guidance through the platform.
Satellite imagery & supply chains
Thanks to our development of easy-to-use map tools for satellite image preparation and creating visualizations of trading networks, Mongabay’s journalists are now able to avoid inconsistencies and can focus on showing what exactly is happening on the ground. Both tools have supported reporting in many Mongabay articles, with the map satellite imagery tool even informing Mongabay’s award-winning Forest Trackers series.
