well you. know. this is deja vu news live from berlin in germany a 101 year old resident of a care facility has become the 1st person in the country to receive the covert 19 vaccine this as an unprecedented mass immunization campaign gets underway across the e.u. . also in the show we'll be taking a closer look at survivors of covert 19 or less struggling with long term side effects their symptoms range from burnout dizzy spells to chronic pain. and how do you tally the m 50 in survivors of australia's wildfires. we

hear about the app that's helping carry out a fraud count with. orders. to wear blue cross welcome to the program germany's mass vaccination campaign against the coronavirus has begun ahead of its scheduled start on sunday shipments of the beyond tech pfizer vaccine start arriving in germany and across the e.u. germany's health minister has expressed optimism about the rollout 101 year old woman in a care home in eastern germany was the 1st to get the shot along with fellow residents and some of their care workers. when it quite solid was born the world was in the grip of spanish flu to tell you 101 years old she made history as the

1st german to be vaccinated. well i feel fine a mobile team came to this residential project to senior citizens in her bush that unvaccinated 40 residents and taking care staff the head of the local vaccination center didn't want to waste any time waiting. every day counts once the vaccine has been defrosted it has a limited storage life and the logistics are flexible enough that we can bring things forward by a day and go out to the cat homes earlier in. most parts of germany are starting vaccinating on sunday regional politicians stressed the urgency isn't enough hours in the year seeing rising infections and alarmingly high numbers of fatalities. and yet the vaccine is giving us this glimpse of hope that if we can hold out a little longer. we have the chance that more and more people would be vaccinated

and we had the biotech pfizer vaccine is being delivered across germany and the country's health minister held out the hope of more to come. to toronto to invite a right now if the other vaccines that look promising are approved by the middle of the year will be able to roll out widespread vaccinations and offer one to anyone who wants it. by the end of 2021 point 3000000 doses of vaccine will have been distributed in january another 3000000 like here in berlin vaccination sentences are ready and waiting and they are equipped to administer many millions to members of the public. because they need to vaccinated so high in the interest is that i'd rather have as many doses as possible as quickly as possible so that we can get . the health minister rejects charges that too little vaccine was ordered not to european level and he was clear about the overall. the.

corona vaccine season it's free of charge involuntary but our intent is clear we want to vaccinate so many people that the virus no longer stands a chance neither in germany in europe. first in line is anyone aged 80 or older like here in. mobile teams will be visiting with the vaccine any day soon. hungary also started vaccinating ahead of the e.u. schedule starting with its hospital staff also using the beyond pfizer vaccine and got its 1st shipments of nearly 10000 doses the government is prioritizing frontline health care staff the 1st worker to be given the shot was a senior physician at budapest central hospital a mass vaccination program is then planned for early 2021. and for more on this let's turn to journalist on balls in budapest stuff and hungary is starting its

vaccinations ahead of many other e.u. countries as germany has we've just heard what's what's behind that reasoning. i see behind it reasoning the. prime minister viktor orban who has been criticised by the opus ition over his perceived legging in the coronavirus been demi that he wants to show that he's still a cultural and i think it's also. very tense relationship with the european union and he wants to show them that hungary can stand its own and we can care for our people and not the same time of course the time is running out that critics say. that there are almost 9000 people reportedly died or. population of nearly 10000000 people. behind the door reasoning for the prime minister. to nights and today it's also not

the 1st time that hungary has been in the news about its facts a nation plans when it came out that hungary was action to go a different way from the e.u. not wait for that beyond fires or maybe go with the chinese or the russian vaccines as well what more do you know about that. well want to know is. already sold. the vaccine arrived here in hungary to have been testing it and if it's up to the hungary and stay will rule out very soon to say they are saying about the chinese sit back seat as well and as congress called seward there is nothing wrong with doing that now for there are people who disagree including the european union they say the say that scene should be tested to much better but of course there is a loophole in the legislation also in europe and i think will be used by the prime minister to bring more vaccines and perhaps even year behind me in.

the box in what's been the public reaction there to these various kinds of vaccines to people seem like they're going to want to step up to get it when they can well it's you. speaking with several areas and they say i don't want to be vaccinated they are very concerned about it to be honest but to of course if your speakers elderly people they might appreciate it i think. they are very happy that the vaccines arise they say many of us were infected to effect. so. many people are. passed thanks very much. the vaccines have been approved so far are expected to protect against infection whether you've had the virus or not those who have suffered from symptoms

of 1000 know all too well how damaging this sickness can be some struggle with lingering effects their road to recovery is a long and difficult one. peggy grain is battling the long term effects of covert 19 when she became sick in march she had few symptoms but it's now devastated her life but a company to the moon even i only became really ill months later in june. at the time i thought that everything would eventually be fine but things didn't improve i was extremely ill for many many weeks which turned into months and i never got better. is what unleashed. picky is one of 40 covert survivors here suffering from long term effects of the illness germany's baltic sea coast symptoms are being treated at

a rehabilitation center. after the virus piggy felt burnt out she suffered from dizzy spells and chronic pain. the cognitive i'm staying in some cases i also had cognitive difficulties that my head wasn't functioning properly i couldn't hear at po-r. vision and couldn't follow conversations well. often covert patients like peggy say their concerns are being taken seriously by the doctors. it's very difficult for some doctors to understand when they look at me i look healthy physically i'm reasonably strong at least i appear to be and then you get dismissed very quickly they say her mind is not ok. i'm not

afraid but i still wonder if i will ever be the same again. as a coded survivor peggy has officially recovered from the illness but she says it feels like corona virus has stolen her healthy body and left her with a sick one in its place. peggy has been here for 2 weeks now her main goal is to get her mental health back on track. you live your life 5 days it was a weekend and so on my life might be more intense than it was before on the one hand i'd like it to be like it was before on the other the world is just falling apart because of the pandemic right now at the moment life is dramatically different for everyone. i think i'll be a different person than i was before. that's ok.

peggy good it has 3 more weeks of rehab ahead of her. all she wants to do is get back to her normal life again. take a look at some of the other stories making news right now. police in nashville tennessee are investigating more than $500.00 leads after a motor home exploded on christmas day 3 people suffered minor injuries and at least $41.00 buildings were damaged authorities say they believe the blast was intentional but have not identified a motive or a target. in afghanistan 2 police officers were killed in an explosion in kabul when a bomb attached to their vehicle blew up officials said a civilian was injured in the attack a separate blast in the afghan capital with 2 more police wounded no one has claimed responsibility. for the israeli military as bomb targets in the gaza strip israel said they hit a number of sites including a rocket factory after missiles were fired from gaza into israel the palestinian

militant group hamas which oversees gaza condemned the strikes and accused israel of hitting a children's hospital. the united nations says 3 peacekeepers from burundi have been killed and 2 wounded in attacks in the central african republic you went back troops have been battling with rebel militia groups ahead of elections on sunday the situation is tense with the government calling in military support from russia and are want. turning to australia now where ecologists are recruiting members of the public for the biggest ever count to see how they're recovering from this year's devastating fires but they're not relying on citing the rather on how they can be heard let's have a listen. to the sign of a thriving ecosystem through rebates for old.

push to some species to the brink of extinction. destruction made it impossible for scientists to study for impacts on. so they developed a frog i d a smartphone app that allows users to be caught i don't load frog cause. we don't know the long term consequences of that's why we desperately need more recordings from and more scientists getting in the field and looking at them but it's a little bit of hope 2020 i'll take that where i can thousands are answering the call taking their phones into the great outdoors to take part in the world's biggest frog counts for some recording of a single species and we can narrow it down quite quickly and so it's it's a common thing that we've heard a lot of in other instances you may have

a chorus of. species or more at the same time the data is used to plot and track for frog population species by species. it's hoped the findings will lead to a giant leap in our understanding of how frogs respond to fire and have overcover wood for smoke has cleared. reminder of the top story we're following for you countries across the european union including germany are launching a massive anti covert vaccine campaign a 101 year old woman was among the 1st to receive the jabs in germany. her over you can always get the news on the go just download our app from google play or the apple app store i'll give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications on any great news and if your part of a news story you can use the app to send us photos and videos of what's happening

'd on what numbers of women especially in victims of violence. take part and send us

your story we are trying in all with and this to end this new culture. that avila to nothing yet you want to become citizens. into migrants your platform for reliable information. when traveling in the real world becomes difficult devices like these can help with iago goals we can explore extraordinary places and even travel in time what makes possible i want topic today our ship. up until now the odds were rather expensive barky and required an additional console your devices function independently now and available for about $200.00 euros the best results are still achieved by permanently installed high end systems

though i took a look at different installations for tourists. 1960 through one. runs through the heart of the city separating east and west and east german residents are strictly forbidden from crossing the border at the risk of being shot due to virtual history allows me to experience life in the divided city firsthand and to see how young west berliners helps those in the east. this man in this picture is also measure from cause that he's my grandfather and in this picture you see him building a tunnel under the burden wall. we are goggles bring on tons family legacy to life to let him descend into a virtual shaft like the one his grandfather and other estate agents had built from east to west berlin. 12 meters underground the 145 meter long tunnel under the berlin wall took 6 months to complete its super uncomfortable here. to view

our director for sending this is a perfect example for however to a reality can bring history to life. things have progressed in a way that we now are starting to see historical material processed in a whole new way suddenly old scans can be displayed in a 4 k. or even 8 k. and we are we have the opportunity to expand these world. making it possible to step into historic scenes we've otherwise only known from pictures were newspaper articles with can one of the north. gripping tales from the past reconstructed up close and in full color. we are going to. crossing the 1970 s. border at checkpoint charlie is no simple task not even n.p.r. but this installation for berlin terrorists also sees room for in the style she glimpse into former east berlin agency. travelling through time is just so

much fun some developers want to go one step further and use we are to make history we live a book how would you like to take part in the march on washington in 1963 when civil rights activist martin luther king had his famous speech. over 80 actors in various b.r. specialists helped to recreate this historic moment in time. you literally marching with the people you're standing there you're looking at you know dr king gave this speech you're looking at every gesture and then looking at him seeing his eyes through you something it becomes very personal while goosebumps unfortunately the home selection for a spectacular view our experiences is still quite limited many can only be tried out with high end equipment especially events on top of that the hardware set up

for home viewing still comes with a lot of annoying glitches and for many these systems are still too expensive for most to read we are still just getting started. heads a virtual reality studio and he says the technology will have its big break soon enough thanks to some exciting innovations in blends into the like it better goggles have improved significantly in the last 2 years last year we experienced a quantum leap forward when prices became affordable and quality rose to a range that justify the cost of not just want to. spend his partner philip vending produce virtual reality content recently the organized if we are event alongside the. the biggest german film festival. to them there's no such thing as one stereotypical b.r. user. this medium has many different types of targets viewers there's the classic lean back audience that we know from television they watch content and like being

told stories but they're not keen on interacting it's really just about seeing a good story. when you've got the classic gamers who want to interact but who don't necessarily need photo realistic surroundings they're looking for 3 d. generated surroundings ideally live 3 d. generated surroundings that they can manipulate. when it's and then there's the target audience that's not really looking for entertainment they're mostly from the industrial sector and use beyond they're designing processes or to create pre-visualization they work in the automotive industry in architecture or in medicine. there for example they can practice new methods of surgery. and the wife owns a ford. for years they've been saying the wii our industry has a lot of potential but here's a reality check in 29000 users around the world spend 5700000000 euros on the hardware and software sounds like a lot in gaming use of spent over 150000000000 euros in the same time span by 2022 but beyond the street is expecting its turnover to rise to 15000000000 euros

but 1st it needs to improve the whereas it offers still we are let's you travel to places that were impossible to visit before for example world famous construction site unique images from inside the not done cathedral in paris after it was devastated by a fire in 21000 new structures and a high led concentration in the air make accessing the interior extremely dangerous for humans which is why in 360 degree camera robot is taking over the images it captures can be were viewed with p.r. goggles. she says we used this robot to get right to the center of the cathedral right under the gaping hole we wouldn't have managed to without the robot but the camera got lucky when i stood in the ruins i wasn't able to stand under that hole but now i can thanks to b.r. . just

a few weeks before the fire filmmakers killer goes for you and victor i do know i had finished shooting a 3 d. documentary on the world famous church. after the fire we realized we had captured the moment and not told us history that we could now give back to the public. by combining film material from before the fire with new images recording the damage the fire had caused the 2 filmmakers have now produced a 2nd documentary rebuilding accompanies the reconstruction of the famous church it's. as one of the kinds depictions of the cathedral is damaged interior else is most of its source of these images are extraordinary they were filmed in virtual reality so in 360 degrees with a very high definition and in 3 d. that creates a separate image for the left and right eye each makes you feel like you're really is there. they're using. virtual reality goggles let you

independently explore the cathedral in this 16 minute long film censors and able you to navigate through the building freely using your own body movements but the experience is strictly limited to the are in the real world the top down is currently still closed to visitors giving users the feeling of being in the midst of it all that's the goal for virtual reality and the more senses come into use the more real the experience will see. we've had a look at the installation which offers a unique acoustic experience listening to music just the way it sounded when composer you hands a bust down beheaded performed in the 18th century. the chapel it's. a mystical place for both fans around the world burned down $774.00 this painting was all that was left of it. now it's been rebuilt in virtual reality. blueprints

for the architecture and sound composition were kept is faithful to the original as possible. as it hits the himmel bird chapel is almost like atlantis kind of like a sunken place of longing for bach for years i dreamt of recreating the him most bird so others could experience it and that dream has finally come true about so much. music was performed on historic instruments in an echo free room at the technical university. that the sound could later be adjusted to fit the chappells accused the work and sounds just like it did in past times. we all can make dreams come true. i've always wanted to be a crocodile for instance. what's it like to be a cayman gliding down the amazon river. for

a tree frog hopping from limb to limb. in this virtual reality installation participants can take on the lives of 5 different animals. i think. that's my favorite animal is the vampire bat it's so cuddly and i love the way it's experience has been recreated you get to fly through the rain forest by night and with a bad night vision and it's simply amazing. you know click and her team at the interactive media foundation company in berlin designed this me our installation they recreated $400.00 hectares of brazil's to local market national park in the amazon rain forest the whole project took over a year 7500 plants alone had to be individually drawn and programmed the installation is now touring museums around the world. and with the knowledge

we wanted to create an emotional experience that you can delve right into we wanted viewers to enjoy themselves and become interested in the animals in the way they experience the world and i must say it's working or we've had lots of people asking us is it really true that the poison dart frog sees those crazy colors it down how did you find that out or where can we learn more. before. passing our knowledge with virtual reality works especially well when the experience is as impressive as flying over the rain forest. what is on offer is getting more and more spectacular even if there's still room for improvement i think there's work to be done on graphics and resolution the greatest challenge for the industry will be to make the goggles lighter and more mobile this

thing here for example it's just a bit too bulky even for me i suppose of the industry say so this will be a thing of the past. then medicine in the near future we won't have these anymore and instead we'll have real glasses that look like the glasses we know now fashionable accessories but with lenses that either stay transparent and display additional information or ones that can darken your vision completely and show something else in a closed off space the internet i'm curious to see what will happen what are your experiences with what devices. through us and what do you still want to experience in virtual reality that is not on your facebook or d.w. dot com that's it from me they care and so yours will.

man and animal living together and unspoiled nature nelson only a rainy cofounded national life the only african wildlife conservation center run by the mass media but since the coronavirus pandemic they have faced many more challenges than usual needs a part of them shipped in their conservation movements to find out. all tonnage of eco africa. it's one of nature's wonders and one of its mysteries the live look of the sea traps the zombies the sunken national park. every year the return to the stars. so why. researchers from germany are trying to find out the. nation of the food. shipments in 30 minutes on d w. in the us right of climate change. conference most of.

what's in store for. the years to come for the future come the. costs for the major cities. to get insight. culture. taking for your own hands for yourself and the environment that's often the treatment success especially during this difficult times and today's edition of the who africa we will introduce you to a lot of different people who are doing just that with various initiatives to help me and bob welcome to the show i'm now outside we're coming to you from lagos and

i'll be singing a big hello to my colleagues around in canberra hello sondra thank you need a one welcome for me sundra to know video here in kampala uganda you are absolutely right near to on the topic we'll meet the messiah in kenya diverse in egypt and so much more here's what you can look forward to in the next half an hour. we show you the potential for one big data to protect the environment. you also learn about how designers and spain are recycling old material into. a used to grow delicious mushrooms in ghana. but must we have a look at an easy as a no then does it where the effects of climate change are increasingly noticeable in the area around the so it is dusty it is getting harder for farmers to cultivate

the lunt average rainfall throughout the year has gone down water has become a luxury few on the few of pharmacy and have a sufficient amount of this precious resource as they are forced to use water more effectively the people in this area teaming up and getting creative. and. it takes a lot of water to irrigate his olive groves and vegetables. so china's you know farm machinery heavy has 3 systems to collect rainwater. he owns 90 hectares of land which is a lot for the cairo one region. can pump 6 liters per 2nd down to the fields in summer the system runs for 16 to 17 hours a day we use less water in the cooler winter months there's still enough rain and

with our well we always have enough water. in this way. not everyone's situation as is comfortable just 10 kilometers away beyond these mountains life is much harder. for most families have to walk several kilometers to get to the nearest water source 'd to cover their daily needs they might have to make a number of trips back and forth. for jobs like do it requires 250 liters of water every day just for his animals and his fields. he needs an additional 40 meters for himself his wife and their 3 children. and as many more have been lost it's really tough for the people who live in this region it takes everyone so much time to fetch water retired our children can't carry on doing this every day it's a burden on the entire region. we still have no running water at home it affects

our quality of life it's so hard we're all trying to find solutions and ahead of. systems that collect rainwater could offer the people has some relief. and now hundreds of being built with the help of a german development agency. until now a large part of the rainwater head was going on you just. this is catch the rain water that runs off the houses which can be used as drinking water for irrigation to. the farmers can use it to grow our mons all over and rosemary which don't require that much water. is being the agency also advises farmers and has set up what it calls water for as constructive strategies are developed and farmers can discuss which products they could that would use less

water. we have a really unusual situation in the region we're in now. basically no ground water left because too much of it has been used up over the years. so the farmers are now having to resort to stored water. but getting water to store is also a problem. that hasn't rained much in the past 4 years farmers get their water from this impoundment dam it supplies more than half a 1000000 people and. it has water levels decline it's being pumped further and further across the country. and that has a direct impact on the people who live here. pressure is mounting even on the farmers who didn't think they have to worry about that water

supply. in some places water is actually being stolen. there are an estimated 20000 illegal wells in china. why raising awareness of the problem is so important. if nothing changes farmers and that animals will no longer be able to survive in these mountains. and then the region might soon become uninhabited. using our resources wisely will be the growth. in the coming decades in fact the. change of direction in many areas including textile production i'm up cycling the new buzzword one clothing designer in the spine is. everything he can get his hands on from plastic bottles to clear items on label his motivation there is no plan to

be. transformed into cruelty jackets plastic bottles become backpacks just 2 of the items made by the eco label. t. shirts sneakers and jackets almost everything in this madrid shop is made from recycled material. is going. to get the idea for the label in 2009. the initial motivation was the frustration with the amount of waste we're creating in the world i believe the most sustainable think too was not to keep on using natural resources so recycling could be a solution if we were to make a new generation of recycled products with the same color. and if that is the best . that we could demonstrate there's no need to keep on the independent but to get the troll but we can transform what other people waste into polymer yarn fabrics

and products. these flip flops are made of old car tires they're 100 percent recycled and don't even need glue the labels reveal what goes into these products. all disabled would try always to put in the government believe it or not this one says that we need 235 grams of discarded fishing nets to make one yards of fabric. going to change hoping to raise awareness of environmental issues and at the same time create fashion that looks good. spanish journalist brenda chavez reports on sustainability and observes the trend. the past 7 months it's starting to catch on but it didn't really pick up speed until the annual figures for textile waste became more common. now the industry is beginning to react to the problem that we're having with plastic. and i'll take a well says it's recycled over 330 tons of waste taken from the sea the label

cooperates with spanish fishermen. they gather their ways from the sea for the fashion house. those. old fishing nets and plastic bottles are processed to make polymer yarn there goes into the fabrics used to make new clothes. the label wants to make an environmentally conscious lifestyle part of its image its slogan because there is no plan it be. a. it's part of a whole lifestyle if the whole 0 waste movement is growing and people want to produce less waste and have less impact on the environment. than i am going to. a fashion trend or the future of clothing. how do you go in achieving is continuing his experiments with cycling and hopes. to catch on in more mediterranean countries . now and they're awesome very different plastic pieces in that report and it's

hard to believe that most of them are made from old plastics somewhat some of them like this but as we've already seen plastic waste in the sea is especially helpful for walmart of marine life including coral reefs in egypt over $300.00 professional die of us took advantage of a corner virus lucked out to clean up the popular tourist resort the team spent about 3 days over water here's this week's doing your bit is evil. egypt's red sea coast is blessed with one of the world's most stunning coral reefs it's a hot spot for divers and tourists. but plastic and other trash endangered the sensitive underwater ecosystem. to counteract this egypt's chamber of diving and water sports initiated underwater cleanups during the cove at 19 lock down.

a whale and divers from sharm el sheikh who got a saw as an opportunity to clean the sea a chance to get rid of the trash and do something good while they had time on our hands. more than 350 professional divers were eager to volunteer. divers in the hub removed plastic film and other debris that could suffocate the coral. in who got a decade's worth of garbage removed from a marina and taken to local waste disposal companies for sorting. many resorts in egypt reopened in mid july but from now on. some of the diving will be devoted to keeping the coral reefs clean. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it can visit our website set just

a tweet hash tag doing your best. we share your story. is stories i'm a curse blessing this is a question that comes up in many tourist hot spots in kenya appears divided among the messiah population they are about 3000000 a science or 2 i many of them live from tourism as rangers gods or talk god i guess near to when the coronavirus put an end to tourism it also put an end to these source of income members of the not. obvious in kenya are thinking of new ways to weather the storm together they'll do what ever it takes so that they preserve the environment aren't way of life. these women are sifting through the river of the national icon 70 located right next to canyons famous

mossimo national park this tributary flows into the mary. nelson oily reef initiative the cleanup he pays the women from the nearby villages $5.00 a day for the a work. this is the most important watershed in this part of the mara the local community relies on this water for there are usage for cooking cleaning and even also the livestock and our wildlife unfortunately the river is heavily polluted because of the activities of. the areas upstream are there tourist comes all the way to that only really and his wife were both born in this area because fonda and crew suffer see run by the local muslim community unlike in other natural results might lead people in lives to quickly steer. national life itself is

a very important corridor allowing wildlife to migrate especially. elephants which normally access this area fall by thing and also. the great migration passes through these corridors although where to the other consequences. these area has always belonged to the local community but with growing communities and 1st land the wildlife was vanishing to create the conservancy 4 years ago the community members pulled down their fences and 2 years later the word life returned. the biggest problem facing wildlife today in kenya is what actually porting as people might actually think of it it is the lack of space and that space is with communities so communities have

to be at the center of conservation the members of the conservancy largely rely on funding from donors and only a few of its income is generated by tourism but this year they called on a pandemic has devastated the region's economy without the 2 areas that visit each year many only rely on their livestock as they lost their jobs us ranges in hotels or traders on the local markets. everything has become difficult getting food is a problem there are diseases all around us just locked down at home and can't leave the legal bill caldwell boom. through crowd funding the national a team has been able to provide food aid to the villages it's a lifeline for now it will take a long time before tourists will start coming back by their visit they help to protect kenyans what life but conservation is like only riyal

worry that this may no longer work. so we need. a paradigm shift in their conservation movement to find out other are alternatives to sustain the important work that is done in conservation. it's walk in progress but . ops that involving the local people in this process will build more resilient communities and nature to. how much trust in kenya's maariv which areas of the ocean have the biggest plastic with problems you may be wondering and we are wondering as well all these can be seen not only from the ground level but also from way about on high resolution state light images this several web platforms and abs that make these complex available we have a simple click or swipe knowing where action is needed also helps us to fight

against pollution get out and. in city parks that was the aim of the online call which hundreds of people in berlin followed the clean up call was based on data collected by volunteers who had discovered many polluted places in the german capital plan a supported the call the startups focus is environmental protection. climate change is not one problem climate change is a lot of problems that are intertwined and our data approach actually untangle this complexity we use the data to pinpoint exactly the locations and the types of issues that happen around the world that need to be immediately acted on. the berlin based startup analyzes data from research institutions around the world. based on its findings plan

a contact individuals companies and community groups in the affected areas worldwide. they publicize their project and allow users to help fund them. data analysis can help to identify and address environmental problems more quickly. litter base is an online database that's open to everyone graphic show the results of more than a 1000 scientific studies on marine pollution. on a world map it's easy to see where research expeditions have already taken place. the latest results from the worldwide scientific community are regularly fed into the database. the aim is to make the global issue of marine pollution more accessible and easily understood including to nonscientists.

and over there anything anything anymore especially because of social media and people like to have picked earth having these maps and this imo the graphs are providing useful information in the really short time to the public. another example the global forest change database at the university of maryland uses a map to show the state of the world's forests since 2013 users have been able to call up info based on satellite images they can see the effects of forest fires illegal logging and reforestation over long periods the platform is also dedicated to protecting forests and their inhabitants it combines satellite technology with open data and crowdsourcing. data platforms make the problems more visible and with an app everyone can do their bit to help tackle them the c o 2 tracking every forest on focuses on individual consumption and it gives you the
