Top Notch for the Casual Forest Watcher

Simple and clear. Useful tool for monitoring - even for the casual observer.

Amazing app for forest monitoring

This app brings GFW to your phone to make monitoring forests easy and efficient. It's really helpful to see deforestation and fire alerts in my area and be able to submit reports with data from patrols. Great job WRI!
