#Google Goes Wild: How Off-road Tech Aids Conservation Google earth and Google street view have made it possible for anyone with an Internet connection to explore some of the world's most spectacular destinations right from their computer tablet or smartphone.
Now homebodies and wannabe globetrotters can dive into the Great Barrier reef uncover the history of the Roman Colosseum and even climb Mount everest for free and without the airport hassles.
Wildlife conservation is also getting a boost thanks to several groups'efforts to use some of these Google tools to track invasive species map populations of endangered species
Google usually uses camera-equipped cars to take images for its Street view but because the Rio Negro region is inaccessible by car the researchers had to come up with an alternative method.
and they even mounted it onto a boat to collect images of a section of the Rio Negro the Amazon's largest tributary Google explained on one of its Outreach pages.
and analyzed using Google Fusion Tables Ribenboimsaid referring to Google's Web application for gathering visualizing and sharing data tables.
Both Google and FAS hope the project will raise awareness of conservation issues help protect Amazonian communities and even influence policymakers.
and stores the data in Google Cloud Pintea told Livescience. Then through Google earth Engine and Google maps Engine the institute's researchers can visualize the multiple layers of data to model the suitability of chimpanzee habitat
and to predict the potential distribution of chimpanzees. Whereas traditional maps are limited to two dimensions Google earth's 3d high-resolution imagery makes it easier for the villagers to recognize the topography
along with a coalition of nongovernmental organizations called Eyes on the Forest worked with Google to build a catalog of maps detailing the changes in the region over time including shifts in the forest cover;
In addition the Google mapping project has helped WWF build public support to stop irresponsible logging companies that contribute to Sumatra's deforestation said Craig Kirkpatrick WWF's managing director for Borneo and Sumatra.
Although the long time between satellite images makes it difficult to actively search for threats to tigers he said Google technology has been helpful in illustrating the pace of deforestation in the region and its effects on tiger and elephant habitat.
Google maps Engine allows us to share the massive amounts of information we've collected over the years
and research is using Google technologies to help protect elephants from some of these dangers.
and where they are going Save the Elephants founder Iain Douglas-Hamilton said in a video hosted on Google's Outreach page.
Several other organizations are also using Google technology for conservation purposes. For instance Defenders of Wildlife is utilizing Google maps API to help demonstrate the impacts of the BP Deepwater horizon oil spill
and the efforts under way to preserve the Gulf Coast. And the United nations'environmental voice the U n. Environment Programme is using Google technology to explore the Earth's changing landscape
and visualize the effects of climate change and other environmental impacts. Follow us@livescience Facebook & Google+.
