00:00:01.889 --> 00:00:04.672
Can we go? Yes!

00:00:04.672 --> 00:00:07.730
Actually ForestWatchers is a project

00:00:07.730 --> 00:00:10.802
that belongs to this idea of Citizen Cyberscience

00:00:10.802 --> 00:00:14.386
that tries to engage more citizens

00:00:14.386 --> 00:00:15.976
in the process of the creation of science

00:00:15.976 --> 00:00:17.775
and knowledge

00:00:17.775 --> 00:00:19.256
specifically ForestWatchers

00:00:19.256 --> 00:00:21.917
has a simple objective but very ambitious

00:00:21.917 --> 00:00:24.463
that it is put everybody to watch

00:00:24.463 --> 00:00:28.923
control and try to stop the deforestation

00:00:28.923 --> 00:00:30.745
of the forests of the whole world

00:00:30.745 --> 00:00:31.835
A very cool job that

00:00:31.835 --> 00:00:33.155
people from INPE is already

00:00:33.155 --> 00:00:35.166
doing in Brazil's forests

00:00:35.166 --> 00:00:36.778
but this is a very hard job,

00:00:36.778 --> 00:00:39.083
so many people are spending a lot of energy in this

00:00:39.083 --> 00:00:40.432
and the idea is to create a platform

00:00:40.432 --> 00:00:42.157
that everybody from their home

00:00:42.157 --> 00:00:44.334
can help in this process checking

00:00:44.334 --> 00:00:44.883
a little square each time

00:00:44.883 --> 00:00:47.966
saying: HEY here there is deforestation

00:00:47.966 --> 00:00:48.966
we need to go there

00:00:48.966 --> 00:00:51.045
and lights up a red alert

00:00:51.045 --> 00:00:52.939
and the people goes there

00:00:52.939 --> 00:00:54.393
and achieve to resolve the problem as a community

00:00:54.393 --> 99:59:59.999
more or less is that
