GFW is a project where the World Resource Institute brought together fourteen major sponsors, including Rebecca Moore of Google Earth who pioneered the use of mapping to protect our lands and people, enables our citizens to participate in and benefit from an "open data approach in putting decision-relevant information in the hands of governments, companies, NGOs, and the public."

The Brazilian Amazon faces widespread illegal encroachment, devastating ancient trees for export and exploiting rare resources. This critical issue impacts us all.

Indigenous forest guardians Marçal Guajajara and Puyr Tembé tirelessly defend their home from deforestation. Their struggle contrasts with an illegal logger, desperate for survival, and a landowner striving to preserve his property's ecosystem, yet ignored by authorities.

These diverse perspectives highlight the global economic links connecting Amazonian goods to consumers worldwide.
