The publication rehashes a story in the Sunday San Francisco Chronicle.
Using a technology-rich form of ethnographic mapping, a philanthropic side of the Moutain View, Calif.–based company, Google Earth Outreach embarked on a collaboration with Almir and the nonprofit Amazon Conservation Team to keep tabs on nearby clear cutting [in Amazonia] while recording aspects of the tribe’s land and daily life in hopes of drawing attention to their struggle.
Of note: No Google Earth images are in the article. Instead: “Image of satellite view of deforestation in the Brazilian state of Rondonia, which is the same state in which the Surui tribe’s reserve is located, courtesy of NASA Earth Observatory/Jesse Allen and Robert Simmon via Wikimedia Commons.” I’m not sure why the publication chose not to include imagery from Google Earth, but it highlights more open alternatives.
