During the second meeting of our #PassionInAction course, attendants will work on a given project aiming to map deforestation in the Amazon rainforest on the TeachOSM Tasking Manager platform. The activity will be introduced by our officer Gorica Bratic. She is the research grant holder for the "Cross-continental YouthMapping for deforestation in Amazonas region" project that was awarded by YouthMappers in 2019. Professor Maria Antonia Brovelli, coordinator of the Passion in Action course, is also the mentor of this project. Our officer Lorenzo Stucchi will conduct the training on JOSM editor. In this event you will learn more about how OpenStreetMap data could represent crucial information for mapping the effects of climate change.
