You are looking at the forest cover lost in Suriname only for that time period. The bot gathers global forest cover loss for a given day and compares the aggregated of every country against the selected country from the list. I thought

I didn't take it as jab! I actually appreciate that you put in effort to add to the discussion and I presume you made some research to find the Hansen 1982-2016 research paper. That is a success to me because my work has achieved it&#x

When I started this project I also had that feeling that we were running out of trees. But my motivation never was to alarm people that we were running out of them, my intention was to make actual deforestation data accessible and approacha

> it's not even known how much was destroyed by winds or fire and how much is reforested I know that's an important design flaw: it can't differentiate between man-made deforestation and natural forest change. I'd lik

Kind of. Not exactly a project inside this project, but maybe a separate visualization tool using the GLAD alerts API to allow people to gather the same information the bot does, but in an easy to use website instead of having to use the pa

A little bit of marketing wording I must confess, but it is as real time as you can get with this kind of datasets. The API that I used for this project along the other APIs by GFW power an app called Forest Watcher that it's pretty re

I emailed them about each and every flaw of their API that I detailed, and some other details I didn't reveal about it. Their developers and public relationships people are good professionals but I can't stop feeling they are over

I somewhat understand your point here. In fact this bot has sometimes made feel a little bit miserable. I detailed this aspect of the bot in a blog post (imnotanerd.herokuapp.com/4). TLDR: I think this bot remains important because it

It will make map comparisons with Suriname until this country is deforestated, then it will move to the next country in the list.

1. That's the date the bot started tracking. Actually, deforestation data starts in 2015 but I thought it'd be dishonest of the bot to count in deforestation that happened before the bot release. First drafts of the bot worked thi

The dedication here is unmatched. Not only it's novice having to write programs on his head with no feedback but also all the hassle there is to run and debug these programs. Just want to say I hope your brother can keep on this track,

Heads up: [1] This is a project I've been working in about a year now and is an honorary successor to a similar project a friend started. You can read in detail how it works at https://imnotanerd.herokuapp.com/3 . Basic
