Deforestation in Central America and Mexico - Mexico Chunhuhub (1) Co.Mapper
This project aims to detect forest loss in Central America and Mexico. You will be comparing an older set of Bing satellite imagery against newer Maxar imagery to look for evidence of forest loss. This will help generating a detailed map of the extent and severity of forest loss in recent years. It is important to gather this information because there is a strong relationship between forest loss and negative environmental impacts and climate change. It should also enable us to identify the causes of forest loss, which will assist in any collaborations with local organisations to plan actions. This is part of the wider OpenCities program, which aims to shed light on the relationship between local communities and nearby forests. Este proyecto tiene como objetivo detectar la pérdida de bosques en América Central y México. Compararás un conjunto de imágenes satelitales de Bing más antiguas, con imágenes Maxar más recientes, para buscar evidencia de la pérdida de bosques. Esto permitirá generar un mapa detallado de la extensión y gravedad de la pérdida de bosques en los últimos años. Es importante reunir esta información porque existe una fuerte relación entre la pérdida de bosques y los impactos ambientales negativos y el cambio climático. También debería permitirnos identificar las causas de la pérdida de bosques, lo que ayudará en cualquier colaboración con organizaciones locales para plantear acciones. Esto forma parte del programa más amplio OpenCities, que pretende arrojar luz sobre la relación entre las comunidades locales y los bosques cercanos.

Population Displacement - Yemen (3) Satellite Applications Catapult
Since the start of the conflict in 2015, more than 3.6 million people have been driven from their homes in Yemen. With more than 24 million people across the country in need of assistance, it remains the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. Thousands continue to stream into Marib city and nearby areas in search of safety. Marib made it earn the “city of refugees” title, now hosting 750,000 displaced people. The humanitarian needs are fast accruing and basic services and assistance are overstretched. Many displaced families are now living in overcrowded, makeshift sites with poor access to clean water and sanitation, putting them at heightened risk to a COVID-19 outbreak. The data you contribute will support humanitarian organizations to better deliver aid to those more in need.

Forest intervened and buildings - Colombia dpto de Amazonas municipio Mirití Paraná (1) OpenMappingHub - LAC
Mapping in the Amazon takes on great importance when considering the vulnerability of the population and the imperative need to preserve its valuable natural resources. This region is home to communities exposed to various hazards, and detailed mapping provides essential information for planning mitigation and emergency response strategies. In addition, the Amazon, as a treasure trove of biodiversity, plays a crucial role in global climate stability. Accurate mapping facilitates the identification of critical areas, contributing to the implementation of adaptation, protection and sustainable planning measures to ensure the long-term survival of the region and its people.

Please look for buildings. You can view the tutorial to learn how to best contribute. Thank you! Mapping in areas of high multidimensional poverty is of crucial relevance, as women play an essential role in indigenous populations, and contribute significantly to social cohesion, cultural preservation and community sustainability. In addition, women in indigenous communities are transmitters of local knowledge and assume fundamental responsibilities in the management of natural resources and environmental preservation. Women's active participation in their communities strengthens resilience in the face of socioeconomic and environmental challenges. In the context of the Amazon, mapping becomes critically important when considering vulnerability and the need to preserve valuable natural resources. When women in these communities have detailed information of their surroundings, it facilitates strategic planning against threats, and contributes to the implementation of adaptation and protection measures, to ensure the long-term survival of the region and its population.

Missing Millions Settlement Detection - Uganda (1) HOT
This special MapSwipe project involves looking at before and after imagery to check for the development of settlements - it uses low resolution imagery (20 times less sharp than the imagery we typically use on MapSwipe). We are not looking for individual buildings here, in fact it will not be possible to see these, instead we're looking for new clusters of buildings. Millions of individuals living in informal refugee and IDP settlements are estimated to be missing from national surveys, yet they are the world’s most vulnerable populations - displaced and resettled due to disaster, development and/or conflict and violence. The Missing Millions research project in collaboration with Oregon State University and funded by NASA is looking to identify new and expanding informal settlements. The use of low resolution but high-frequency open Sentinel imagery in this project allows for monitoring and identification of settlements quickly on a large scale.

Population displacement - Yemen (1) Satellite Applications Catapult
Since the start of the conflict in 2015, more than 3.6 million people have been driven from their homes in Yemen. With more than 24 million people across the country in need of assistance, it remains the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. Thousands continue to stream into Marib City and nearby areas in search of safety. Marib made it earn the “city of refugees” title, now hosting 750,000 displaced people. The humanitarian needs are fast accruing and basic services and assistance are overstretched. Many displaced families are now living in overcrowded, makeshift sites with poor access to clean water and sanitation, putting them at heightened risk to a COVID-19 outbreak.

Mapping in areas of high multidimensional poverty is of crucial relevance, as women play an essential role in indigenous populations, and contribute significantly to social cohesion, cultural preservation and community sustainability. In addition, women in indigenous communities are transmitters of local knowledge and assume fundamental responsibilities in the management of natural resources and environmental preservation. Women's active participation in their communities strengthens resilience in the face of socioeconomic and environmental challenges. In the context of the Amazon, mapping becomes critically important when considering vulnerability and the need to preserve valuable natural resources. When women in these communities have detailed information of their surroundings, it facilitates strategic planning against threats, and contributes to the implementation of adaptation and protection measures, to ensure the long-term survival of the region and its population.

MSF teams are mapping villages and taking their names on the ground, but identifying all of the inhabited areas and counting the structures is much more efficient from aerial photos. Knowing where all of the villages are scattered through the savanna helps us to map them, and counting the buildings within each village gives us a quick and fairly accurate method to estimate population. This is important to help MSF understand the spread of disease and identify areas of highest need.
