Description: The Forest Watcher app was developed by the Jane Goodall Institute and the World Resources Institute to combat deforestation and impacts to wildlife conservation in Uganda. The app was launched in Kampala in April 2016 and utilizes both the Open Data Kit and the World Resources Institute’s Global Forest Watch platform. The app allows users to acquire near-real time satellite data on forests as well as forest alerts from Global Forest Watch on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. For example, community users or forest rangers can obtain timely alerts on logging and deforestation on their mobile devices that allow them to locate illegal activity and take quick action. Users can also save forest alerts from Global Forest Watch to the Forest Watcher app, and then access those alerts offline when in the field or areas of low internet connectivity. Users are able to upload important data to local servers, the cloud or to Global Forest Watch, such as photos that offer evidence of forest change locally.
