NT100

Global Forest Watch is proud to have been named one of the 2015 Nominet Trust 100 (NT100), a celebration of 100 people and organizations around the world using digital technology for social good. These projects tackle some of the world’s biggest social challenges in areas ranging from environment and agriculture to health. Global Forest Watch puts the best and timeliest data on the state of the world’s forests into the hands of decision makers, civil society groups, forest-dependent communities, journalists and other stakeholders to enable better management and conservation of this precious resource that not only helps mitigate climate change, but supports the livelihood of more than 1.6 billion people around the world.
