The map & dashboards on Global Forest Watch (GFW) allow you to explore hundreds of spatial datasets that help explain when, where and why forests are changing around the world. The map shares a visual story about what’s happening to forests in any area. The dashboards help answer important questions about forest change in any area and enable you to view hundreds of statistics through interactive charts and graphs. Join GFW’s expert-led “office hours” for an overview of the GFW map and dashboard. We’ll provide a brief overview of how to use the platform and provide participants with the opportunity to ask questions, work through problems and share any lessons learned. If you have any specific questions that you would like us to address during office hours, please send them to Isabela Barriga at Isabela.Barriga@wri.org
