@CraigAWelch @ErikHoffner @NatGeo @mongabay We'll have a new and improved version of the app launched next month. I'm available if you have any questions on how to use it.

[Willie Shubert @WillieShubert]

Just wrapped up moderating a fascinating panel on GeoAI applications for environmental and social challenges at the @GeospatialM. AI advances in processing LiDAR data for taking forest inventory and spotting archeological site are eye opening. Check out @Flai_AI and @ARCHAI_LTD.

What should you look for when choosing a #reforestation project to support? We think it should be #transparency. We worked with @mongabay to build a tool that helps people find their match. https://t.co/bPCjAnkUqq

When you buy tuna, are you paying for this? My @mongabay series on how even as the world is trying to purge the oceans of plastics, the EU-dominated tuna fishery in the Indian Ocean dumps plastic waste with “impunity.” #BADFAD thread (1/8) @Reporterre https://t.co/tuHe3Vw2DS

Brazil's official policy states that Amazon #palmoil is green, but is that true? My 18-month investigation for @mongabay showed the opposite, with impacts including #deforestation and water contamination affecting Indigenous people in Brazil’s Pará state: https://t.co/kWy4w3iIPh

6:30 pm | Han transcurrido tres horas desde que el #Sebin se llevó a su sede, en San Félix, a nuestras compañeras Susana Reyes y @mramirezcabello para un supuesto interrogatorio. Exigimos su liberación inmediata.

@ncibotu Also, old wet iceberg so often found in cheap bags of premixed salad has scarred countless millions and made the world a more challenging place for salad evangelists

[Willie Shubert @WillieShubert]

@ncibotu I agree both are valid greens. But iceberg is rather tasteless. It's a great crunchy vessel for gobs of creamy dressing. IMO, only people who actually don't like salad prefer iceberg over romaine.

Nas últimas semanas, várias reportagens do projeto "MERCÚRIO" foram publicadas em veículos da Guiana, Suriname, Venezuela e Brasil. Agora o lançamos plataforma interativa com a investigação completa. Em parceria com o @ArmandoInfo e o @showdavida .

Our latest investigation took us to Papua, one of Indonesia’s most difficult-to-access places. We went on the trail of a $22 million “consultancy” payment made in connection with a palm oil plantation there.

Thank you to all who became a monthly donor or made a gift during our spring sustaining supporter fund drive -- during such uncertain times, fact-based information is needed more than ever for making informed decisions!

[Willie Shubert @WillieShubert]

@LucidaEarth I signed up for the product updates. Does that mean I also signed up to be a beta tester?

[Giuseppe Molinario @g_molinario]

"...analyses boiling down the deforestation caused by [commercial operations] in their immediate vicinities are “very limited and probably inaccurate...". A well written article by @johnccannon at @mongabay on the alarming message of our recent research paper.
