Introducing the Google Earth heroes project
27. Oktober 2009
Hundreds of millions of people use
Google Earth
every day to discover, explore and learn more about the world around them. We're especially proud that Google Earth has also been used as a tool to help people change the world. Today, to celebrate he individuals and organizations that have used Google Earth in their efforts to effect change, we announced the Google Earth heroes project.
In this first stage of the heroes project, we're highlighting the work of five groups —
Project Kaisei
,
Save the Elephants
,
Borneo Orangutan Survival
,
Chief Almir and the Surui
and
Appalachian Voices
— who have used Google Earth in a variety of ways to tell their stories. We'll be releasing videos showcasing other organizations' work in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
To learn more about these groups and view their videos, read our post on the
