Global Forest Watch Voices: Women Changemakers in Forest Monitoring (Original)

In line with this year’s International Women’s Day theme, DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality, WRI celebrates the many women and girls that are leading the evolution of transformative technology and digital education.
As part of our GFW Voices series, we invite you to our virtual discussion where you will hear from a panel of women changemakers from the GFW community who are employing technology to protect forests and community rights across Latin America, Southeast Asia and West Africa.
Our speakers reflected on how forest monitoring data and technology has impacted the lives of people in communities that depend on forests, and shared lessons learned from their experiences as leaders in this space, including their advice for the next generation of forest defenders.
