“Mongabay is a science-based environmental news platform aiming to inspire, educate, and inform the public. The deforestation and fire alerts on GFW allow us to identify stories as they're happening on the ground. In Peru, we were able to track fires as they invaded protected areas and mobilize our Latin America team to get coverage. It added a really timely dimension to our reporting and led Peruvian officials to go out immediately and address the situation.”
