The Eye on Earth summit started on Monday 12th in Abu Dhabi. The conference is addressing the crucial importance of environmental and societal information and networking to decision-making.
Vizzuality is very aligned with the objetives of the summit and the declaration that has been signed. We have been working on Biodiversity and Conservation since we started and we hope that the work we do with our partners help move toward a more sustainable world.
Javier de la Torre is been presenting also some of our projects in the conference, like Imazon, a project together with Google and Imazon and OldWeather, but many of other of our projects where presented, like GeoCAT, ProtectedPlanet, GBIF, etc.
Now, that we have launched CartoDB, our Open Source geospatial database on the cloud, we are working with many different organizations to help them analyze, visualize and share their environmental data.
We look forward to join forces with partners to develop the technologies and platforms that will enable a truly integrated environmental data network that will help to make better conservation decisions. And if this movement is driven by Open Source so that everybody is included, we will be delighted.
