Community-based solutions to rainforest destruction
For the Centre’s 2022 Report on ‘Civil Society Innovation and Digital Power Shift’, we’re speaking with inspirational innovators from civil society organisations around the world to hear the stories of their inclusive innovation approaches to advance people-centred digitalisation, to either address system power imbalances or capitalise on emerging people power and technological capabilities.
In this new episode, Susan Pelletier, Executive Director of the Rainforest Foundation US and Cameron Ellies, who works as Senior Geographer, talk about the Rainforest Alert project and how they are putting information that was held primarily by governments into the hands of people at the community level who can actually act on this information and stop deforestation.
