Global Nature Watch
Live Earth DataWatch the world's forests shrink and regrow, from space.
Why it made the cut
Formerly Global Forest Watch. Deforestation is usually reported as an abstract statistic — "10 million hectares a year." This turns it into an actual map you can zoom into, watching specific forests shrink, and in some protected areas recover, using near-real-time satellite alerts instead of a once-a-year summary.
