Many individuals and organizations have discovered that Google Earth is a powerful tool for understanding and visualizing local and global environmental issues. This forum is the place to post KML/KMZ content that relates to understanding, protecting and preserving our planet Earth and all its living species.

If you have ideas about data layers and/or imagery that would be useful for Google to publish in order to aid conservation efforts, this is the place to speak up.

For one example of how Google Earth is being used in a grass-roots effort to educate the public and policy-makers about an environmental issue, see: http://www.mountainresource.org.

With the power of Google Earth, each one of us can make a difference.
